I have made this recipe many times – I love them and so do my friends and family. Has become my “go to” ripe banana recipe… Just thinking about the tender moist crumb and crumbly nutty topping makes my mouth water as I type this. Be sure to cool them in the pan for the recommended time –
These are my “go to” muffins to give to friends (and myself). Everyone loves them. I’ve made them several times and they always come out perfect.
These are simply perfect. Absolutely the best muffins I have ever made.
