I feel like...

Rainy days. They are perfect for creating. I always feel like baking, knitting, drinking a cup of tea, reading a good book, watching a movie(although movies are always better when I have my honey to snuggle up with on the couch), and blogging of course.  

 Today I'm craving some delicious muffins.  I found a recipe that would be perfect, but looked in the pantry only to discover I'm out of brown sugar!!! what kind of non-sense is that! And if only I had a car I could just run up to the store and grab some. Then I would also be able to grab some eggs, which I'm also out of.


So my delicious muffins will have to wait for another day.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla 
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375℉  Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. 
  3. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. 

Make it, if you dare. Let me know how it is.
