Banana Muffins with Crumb Topping

Banana Muffins with Crumb Topping.

(Disclaimer: I was provided compensation for a link in this post. All thoughts & opinions expressed herein are my own.)

I love banana bread but honestly it takes a long time to bake which can be hard if you are not home for long periods of time. I made these banana bread muffins with a crumb topping because they are quick to bake, mine were done at the 18 minute mark. I don’t know why but I love a hint of cinnamon with banana bread/muffins so there is cinnamon in the topping and you can also add it to the batter if you are a big cinnamon fan. I always buy my cinnamon at Swanson Vitamins. I usually get the 1lb bag of organic cinnamon, it lasts me quite a while.

Recipe makes about 12-14 muffins.

I used a medium sized cookie scoop to fill the muffin tins, it scoops about 2 1/2 Tablespoons. I love it because it is less messy for me and then each muffin is approximately the same size. If you are not using salted butter then I recommend adding 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the recipe.
