Banana Crumb Muffins

This week I made Banana Crumb Muffins. You’ve seen them everywhere, but have you ever tried to make them? These muffins are a hit at supermarkets and coffee shops all over the country (probably the world). Now, you can make them a hit in your own home!

These muffins look perfect with the crumble on top. And guess what?! They taste perfect too!

Believe it or not, there is actually a story behind these muffins… A few weeks ago, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House with some friends. We had the pleasure of cooking for families with sick kids. I was at a different friend’s house trying to raise money for our high school basketball program right before I headed downtown to the Ronald McDonald House, so I had the muffins with me. Of course, I ended up forgetting to bring the only item I was responsible for. That may sound horrible, but we found a surplus of sweet treats when we got to the Ronald McDonald House, so it was okay. We had a blast cooking for the families and doing some work in the kitchen.

These Banana Crumb Muffins tasted just like the good, homemade ones at local coffee shops. I advise you to eat them while they are warm. The temperature does a lot to the flavor and overall enjoyment.

And by the way… It’s lacrosse season again!
