Banana crumb muffins–a family fave
2012 March 20
This past Sunday I stayed home from church with a sick little George. It gave me some time to get a little breakfast ready for the rest of the family before they returned at noon. With some seriously ripe bananas on the counter, I went for one of my favorite muffin recipes: banana crumb muffins.

…
I served them with some belated St. Patrick’s Day waffles (waffle batter with green food coloring and green sugar sprinkles) and our ever favorite applesauce cups. George, with his super mad math skills, figured out everyone could eat two.
Love that kid! And totally love breakfast for lunch or dinner!

It has been WAY too long! And yes, I love a great way to use ripe bananas. I have a sour cream banana bread recipe I like too, but I only had 3 bananas, not the required 6. Guess I’ll have to buy some more and avoid eating them. ;)

Oh crumbtastic pics! The only thing good about a sick kid is bonding time. Hope George is feeling better. And I’m happy I have another way to use my overripe Costco bananas. There’s always 3 too many in the bunch!

I agree, Heidi. Costco bunches always have 2 to 3 too many bananas!

I think I’m going to be trying these today. I have some overripe bananas that I was going to make into banana bread but these look too good to resist!

Actually made these again tonight with cake flour and left off the crumbs. Was more like a cake and really really yummy!
