Banana Crumb Muffins

 

I'm always on the look out for different Banana recipe as I get a bit bored of the old Edmond's banana cake, which is a great recipe but I like to try out new recipes when I bake just to give myself more of a challenge. I made these Banana Crumb Muffins last night with a bunch of overripe bananas I had. These muffins would be nice served with cream or yogurt on top (which I didn't do cause I couldn't wait to try them straight from the oven and burnt my mouth) so If you have any great banana recipes you would like to share I would love to try them out.
