Banana Muffins with Crumb Topping

I had three more ripe bananas waiting in the freezer to be made into something.  Banana bread takes a bit longer to cook and I was looking for something we could eat this morning.  I found this recipe in a cookbook and just made a few changes to it to suit my style :)

The ingredients....

 Lined muffin pans

 Mix together the dry ingredients in the first bowl

 Mash up the bananas in a smaller bowl

 Add the sugar, egg, and melted butter and mix.

 Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture.

 Combine together.

 Spoon into muffin pan (I always make a mess with that part.)

 In a small bowl mix the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, oats, and butter. 

 Cut in the butter until it resembles course meal.

 Top muffins with mixture.

 Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. I started eying them after 10 minutes because my oven tends to cook faster than most cook times.

 Don't they look yummy

 Remove from muffin pans and let cool on wire rack for a few minutes.  Enjoy warm!!!!
