oh yum! I left this recipe out for my husband and son to make with some very black bananas! The directions were clear enough for him to follow and the end result was delicious. Great flavour and the topping made these extra special. The kids had some for breakfast the next day and the rest I popped into the frezer for another day. DH was able to get 24 muffins and 1 small loaf. Thanks for sharing :)

These muffins are my husband's favorite. He doesn't like nuts, so I add raisins instead. I also add unsweetened dried shredded coconut to the streusel topping to enhance the tropical flavor. I've also experimented with using part whole wheat flour and subsituting part of the fats with ground flax for healthiness. It seems there's nothing you can do to mess up this delicious muffin.

These were great! Moist, tender and delicious! I used butter instead of the oil and mine did not get the lovely high crown on them, but they tasted fantastic. And my streusel topping kind of melted into the muffin for some reason, so the pictures are not too pretty. Next time I may try these as loaves and see if they come out any prettier :)

Bread ingredients are exactly the same as bread <a href="/36336">Banana Nut Pineapple Bread</a>. However I enjoyed making these as muffins and adding the streusel. They are wonderful! It made 24 muffins plus a small loaf of bread. I substituted 1 of the cups of flour for whole wheat & one of the cups of sugar for Splenda baking blend (probably could have used both with Splenda as the muffins turned out very sweet, light & moist). I used brown sugar in the streusel. I love cinnamon so I increased it to 1 tsp. in the streusel & 2 tsp. in the bread. I left out the nuts as my hubby doesn't like them in baked goods. I am so impressed with these! They're very good all by themselves or excellent fresh out of the oven or reheated in the microwave for 30 seconds with whipped cream. Yum! This recipe is a keeper. Thank you!
