Banana Walnut Muffins

Yes, those are dinosaur muffin cups. I found them in a cabinet in the cabin in the woods. They seemed appropriate somehow.

This is just a simple banana muffin recipe, dressed up with a Bittman-insprired crumble. Bake these in the morning while your guests are sleeping.

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg
1 cup milk
about 3 ripe bananas

Preheat your oven to 400° F. Grease or line a muffin tin with paper.

Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Stir all together, then add the banana.

1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons melted butter

Combine all in a food processor and process just until a nice crumble forms.

Stir half of the crumble into the muffin batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, and top with remaining crumble.

Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
