When I have ripe bananas sitting on my counter, this is my favorite recipe to make.

A  few years ago, I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. The original recipe is for banana bread and it has 7,937 five-star reviews. Of course after seeing all the positive reviews I had to try it.

I use this recipe for banana bread or muffins. I added some vanilla extract to the recipe, as well as streusel on the top.

I love how moist these muffins are. They are still very moist even the next day..

These muffins are perfect for a grab and go breakfast or as a snack when the kids get home from school.

Until next time,

3. Add the strussel ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined well. Sprinkle 1 tsp. of strussel topping on top of each muffin. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and the top of the muffin springs back when touched.
