Submitted by aimbrulee

"This is the best way to use your over ripe bananas. These are especially good because of the crunchy brown sugar streusel on top. A regular in my house."

Yummy! I only made one change....I did not melt the butter, just used softened butter in the crumb topping. Easy and delicious!

I am searching for the perfect banana nut muffin recipe, and while this is not perfect, it tasted the best out of what we have tried so far. The topping was very good, but it was a bit too crumbly and alot fell off when taking them out of the pan. And they were a bit small, we are looking for bakery style, and I think I would make less of them but fill the tins a bit more.

What to do with ripe bananas? Make these muffins, of course. These were fantastic. The taste, texture, and crumb topping make them worthy of comparison with any boutique bakery muffin. I added some chopped walnuts to the crumb topping. Yum!!! I'm going to try jumbo muffins next time.
