Banana Crumb Muffins


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 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
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.
Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

Blueberry Spice Muffins

1 3/4 c. flour (I do half white/half wheat flour)
1/2 c. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 c. milk
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 1/4 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
Topping:
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Combine egg and milk. Add egg mixture and butter to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Fold in blueberries.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 16-20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Pictures

Okay, I would really like to update this blog so as to organize all my recipes. I haven't posted because I am terrible at photographing the food I make. It obviously is not a talent of mine or my camera. So if there is a picture take it for what it is worth. I promise you it will taste better than it looks. :) If no picture, trust me, everything I post on this blog is tried and trues recipes that the my family loves. With that said...be expecting more recipes. Also leave a comment, especially after you try the recipes!
