Banana Crumble Muffins

I think banana cake is the very first thing I baked as a teenager. It's so easy to put together, and you almost always have the ingredients for it at hand. I'm not one to waste food - so it's the perfect way to use those black bananas!

BANANA CRUMBLE MUFFINS

Mash 2 ripe bananas. The riper the better. These guys are probably the minimum ripeness you should use.

Beat together half a block of cubed room temperature butter with 1/2 cup white sugar & 1/2 cup brown sugar

The resulting mixture is so good I could spread it on my toast

Beat in 2 eggs, then fold in 1.5 cups plain flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda, followed by 150ml sour cream

Finally, fold in the smooshed bananas

Makes enough batter to fill a 12-hole muffin tin or a small cake tin

CRUMBLE

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons plain flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and a handful of oats

Grate 20g cold butter over top then smoosh with your fingertips, creating delicious lumps

Sprinkle the crumble over the muffins

Bake at 160 C for about 25 minutes - whenever a skewer comes out clean
