Banana Streusel Muffins

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...All you need to make these moist and crunchy gems are a couple of bowls and a wooden spoon. I'm on a banana kick this week and this is the first recipe I want to share with you. Actually, I have to share it with you. The bananas sitting on top of my refrigerator are ripe and perfuming the house with their unique odor. We have reached that unmistakable "use it or lose it" kitchen moment that cooks have come to know too well. The recipe is a slight riff of one that appears on Allrecipes. The next time I make these muffins, and there will be a next time, I'll cut back on the amount of ingredients used to make the streusel. I think the current quantities produce to much of a good thing, but if you like your treats super sweet, you might want to stick to the original proportions. While these disappeared quickly from my table, the bananas keep these muffins moist and edible for several days when they are stored in airtight containers. There is nothing here not to like, so give the recipe a try. Here is how these easy muffins are made.
