Need a use for brown bananas? Look no further! These muffins have a drool-worthy crumble topping, perfect for breakfast or an after-school snack!

One of my favorite parts of the cooler months is being able to bake whenever I want. In the summer, my kitchen turns into a hot box, even with the air on. I have always said I’m not much of a baker, but I can make a few delicious recipes. Muffins are my forte.

This recipe makes the perfect amount of muffins: 10. If I make a huge batch of 24 I will.eat.them.all. Honestly, I cannot hold back when it comes to baked goods. The girls love these for an after school snack and, as discovered last week, Liam will gobble one of these up too!

If you ever happen to find yourself in a baking aisle, I highly recommend these Wilton muffin scoops. They come as a set of 3: mini, regular and jumbo and they scoop out the perfect amount for baking! I used a 40% coupon on them at Michael’s.

While the crumble isn’t necessary, you kind of need it. Trust me. I have been adding this crumble to every muffin lately because it makes them feel a bit more like a bakery style muffin.
