Have I mentioned my love of anything banana? It’s probably a close second to anything with apples. These Banana Muffins are a spin-off from my Banana Bread recipe. You won’t be disappointed. 🙂

Bananas are so good for you and have a multitude of uses. I put them in bread, ice cream shakes/malts, cakes, pies, pudding desserts, and of course muffins! You can also dehydrate them for banana chips as a healthy alternative to satisfying your sweet tooth.

These Banana Muffins have a subtle streusel topping but they are great without if you don’t care for nuts. Me, I’m a fan of lots of texture. With these Banana Muffins, you have it all. A cake-like muffin with the crunchiness of nuts and sweetness of the brown sugar. I like to add a streusel topping to my banana bread and cakes too. And, let’s not forget about adding butter as a spread. I can’t think of any bread or muffin that isn’t better with butter. LOL

Thinking about bananas…how do you peel yours? I always use to peel my bananas from the stem end. But, did you know you should actually start at the bottom? Supposedly, it will lessen bruising and I even heard that end is sweeter. I guess monkeys always peel their bananas from the bottom. See? I have proof! LOL So, of course, that’s how I peel them now too! 🙂

Regardless of how you peel your bananas, be sure to enjoy all the goodness they provide. I would love to hear about your favorite banana recipes! Shoot me a comment.

Until next time…Cheers!
