These Banana muffing are moist, tender, super delicious packed with flavor. Then topped off with a crunchy crumb topping made with pecans, cinnamon and  brown sugar. These muffins are so simple to make. You will have all these ingredients in your house.

I always have banana's in the house. I buy green, perfect yellow, and brown bananas, the browner they are the better the flavor in baking with bananas, you want them to look almost rotten, that is the key to getting the most flavor out of them. Also, the key to a perfect muffin is not to over mix, if you notice their is no need for a mixer, which I love the best, so glad I found this recipe, I love these muffins..

These are perfect for on the go breakfast, with your tea or coffee, brunch, dessert, or snack. I look at the stores and they charge over 1.00 for a muffin, why even bother when you can make homemade, better delicious muffins from your own kitchen.
