Mondays With Michelle: Banana Muffins

Welcome to Monday’s with Michelle! Today, I’ve got a great banana muffin recipe that I want to share. This is one that I’m sure we can all use. I can’t tell you how many times we buy bananas in my house with intentions of eating them before they turn brown and mushy, but sometimes we’re just too slow and we’re left with extra ripe bananas that no one wants to eat. Don’t throw them away! Turn them into the most delish banana muffins ever.

This recipe is super easy to whip up in just a few minutes; it doesn’t even require a mixer, just 2 bowls and a fork. Here’s the recipe:

These muffins are great for breakfast, or just a little snack. Your kids and significant others will love them. Not to mention that they make your kitchen smell amazing! Personally, I think they are best right out of the oven. They have the most satisfy crunch from that absolutely decadent crumb topping. Keep your leftovers (if you have any) in an airtight container on the kitchen counter and just pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds when you are ready to eat them. I hope you enjoy this yummy treat!
