KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS
A hearty loaf of banana bread is an excellent way to use up a pile of leftover bananas, but sometimes you want a lighter option. These tender banana muffins are crowned with a delightfully crunchy cinnamon crumb topping that lends to their addictive nature. The easy recipe, which doesn't require any special equipment - just a couple of bowls - was adapted from one originally developed by a 9-year old named Meghan Cwikla. With it, she won the junior division at the 1997 State Baking Contest at the Connecticut State Fair.

This banana bread has no oil, or butter of any sort. It doesn't need it! Because this bread isn't greasy it makes great muffins without the greasy bottoms I have experienced through other recipes. The walnuts are optional.

BANANA CRUNCH MUFFINS
I made these for the first time after my baby was born 9 months ago and let me tell you...I ate about the entire batch! They are so darn yummy...and moist! Everyone that has tasted them absolutely love them. I have played with the ingredients a bit, toasting the coconut, using granola with raisins and almonds in it, every time they turn out perfect. Whenever I make these, I always think that the batter is a good base for any type of muffin (without the bananas, etc) but I haven't tried it yet. I originally found this recipe from the Barefoot Contessa.
