Kittencal's Banana-Almond Muffins With Almond Streusel

"To save some time prepare the topping in advance and refrigerate. You should get around 10-12 muffins depending on the size of bananas you use, the yield is only estimated, 1 cup of sugar will give you a sweet muffin you may reduce the sugar if desired --- these bake out high and moist with lots of flavor and are one of my family's all-time favorite muffins, you will love these!"

  1. What a muffin! These are moist, big and full of flavor...the perfect sidekick to a cup of coffee. I cut the sugar to 3/4 cup and they have the right amount of sweetness. These would be great even w/o the topping. Made for 123 Hit Wonders.
     
  2. Brilliant recipe. Absolutely fantastic as directed. My muffins usually turn out like a 3rd grade home economic project gone bad. These baked simply perfect. Excellent measurements. A family keeper.
     
  3. Excellent muffins! Followed the recipe exactly (which was awesome as I had no idea what to do with my almonds and then saw this recipe!). Everyone in my house loves them! They are moist and delicious, and the streusel is a perfect crispiness. Definitely something to add to my list of regularly made baked goodies!
     
  4. Made these yesterday, but cut the recipe in half as there are only two of us in the home. It made 8 muffins which made it have only one tablespoon of sugar IN each muffin (not counting the struesel topping)....they are by far the best banana muffin I have ever had. I did use black walnuts instead of almonds because I had more of them and love the flavor of them mixed with banana. I have not tried every recipe from Kittencal, but all of the ones I have tried have been keepers. Thanks Kittencal - it seems I can trust your recipes to always be great!
     
  5. These are terrific! I did not have almonds so I substituted walnuts with wonderful results. The texture of these muffins is moist without being gooey and the banana flavor is strong without being overwhelming. Definitely a keeper!
