I came across this recipe from allrecipes.com and have been using it ever since. My favorite part of this recipe is the crunchy and buttery topping. I reduce both white and brown sugar a tiny bit to suit my own preference. These banana crumb muffins surely make a great snack or afternoon tea for my family.
