Yet another use for those spotted brown bananas starring at you from on the counter, Banana Crumb Muffins are a great grab-and-go breakfast or a tasty snack!
I absolutely love that bananas have more than one ‘life’. They’re awesome fresh (slightly green for me please!), lovely in smoothies, perfect for pies and puddings and when they get too brown for anything else you can bake them into bread or muffins and truly get your $$ worth out of a fruit that’s usually inexpensive in the first place.
And since you can’t have too many ways to use brown bananas, here’s another one for your rotation. These muffins are gently spiced and sweetly topped with a brown sugar crumb topping. I love mine with a little bit of butter and definitely slightly warm 😉
