Banana or Strawberry Crumb Muffins


I LOVE these muffins! This recipe originally calls for 3 medium bananas, but yesterday I made them with fresh strawberries! I just lined up some strawberries that resembled the size of 3 bananas, chopped them, and mixed them with a spoon with the sugar and egg etc..

Original recipe says it yields 11 muffins, but I fill my tins up to the top to make large muffins and it makes only 7.

Enjoy!!

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3 bananas, mashed
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 1 tsp. vanilla
* 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1/3 cup butter, melted ( or canola oil)

Topping:
* 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 tablespoon butter, soft

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.

2. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

3. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
