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!

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!
