Baking with bananas again? I know, I know, but I couldn't resist. I love baking with bananas and the left over bananas were extremely ripe (black), which is when they're best to bake with! So, me being me, I couldn't resist to NOT bake something. I almost flipped out when I saw that my father was about to just throw them away! I was about to go total ninja on him when I saw him do that! He definitely learned something from this...
Since I'd already made cookies with bananas in the past couple days, I decided to go with what people would normally bake with bananas; muffins. Easy and delicious. I was going to make regular muffins, but I'd realized the my mini muffin pan was beginning to look lonely (since I hardly ever use it!), so I wanted to put it to go use and make cute little banana muffins. The recipe very simple and they come out so good.
I love baking mini muffins. Something about mini or tiny things always make me squee and say "They're so cute!" Maybe thats just me though... But these mini little muffins were cute. :]

3. Slowly add the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
4. In a small bowl, mix together sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add butter and combine until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.

I really like your blog and want to try some of your recipes. But please, please spell the word "definitely" correctly! I know it's nit-picky, but I get distracted by your use of the word "defiantly." You use it in almost every post. I'm not trying to be mean--just helpful!
I'm a sucker for anything with a crumb topping, and these look amazing!!
Hi, I think it's great that a young girl takes such an interest in baking. Do you think this might be a future career? One thing about your blog. The words are running down the right side of the picture and then underneath. I'm not sure if that is something you could fix or not. Have a great day :o)
