Banana Crumb Muffins

So, I haven't posted any recipes in quite a while. But, tonight I made these amazing Banana muffins. They were so beautiful and tasty, I just had to record the recipe and share it.

You should know, I'm not so good at following recipes. And, with baking being such a science and all about the chemical reaction of one ingredient with another ... I'm, frankly, lucky anything turns out at all. Also, I'd like to share that I never mix my dry ingredients separate from my wet ingredients. I just put them all in together into my stand-up Kitchen Aid mixer and mix away. I know this isn't the proper way of doing things, but that's what I did here and they turned out just fine.

Makes 12 regular size muffins.

Muffin Batter Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 ripe bananas
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted

Crumble Ingredients:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together the batter ingredients and spoon into muffin cups.

Mix crumble ingredients. Once mixed it should resemble coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle a spoonful of the crumble over the batter in the muffin cups.

Bake muffins in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

So yummy when warm.
