I love baking banana bread. I feel like it’s the most quickest way to get my apartment smelling good and to make it really feel like a home. Sometimes though, I can bake too much banana bread. At work last week, I was told to feel free to bake something with the mushy bananas, so I took advantage of that. I had just spent the evening before baking banana bread and needed to try something different. After a bit of searching, I came across this recipe for banana crumb muffins, and it turned out to be a winner! The kids loved them and would have eaten the full dozen in one sitting if I had let them.
