Valentine's Day is here and it's time for another sweet treat for the people I love! Last year I made Homemade Red Hot Applesauce, and I had in my head this year I wanted to give jars of homemade jam with tags that said, "Valentine-You're My Jam!" but time got away from me and it turns out canning homemade jam WAS NOT my jam this year. (Spoiler alert for next year's Valentines) I ran into Dollar Tree for a Diet Coke and found these cutest little glassine treat bags with monkeys on them. Inspiration! I knew I could whip up a banana-themed Valentine treat in no time, and BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS were born. As it turns out, these were even better than jam, as Mr. DD loves anything banana! I made 10 dozen mini muffins yesterday, and if he wasn't my Valentine I might have been mad for how many he kept sneaking. These delightful little bites have the perfect cake texture and flavorful crumb topping with just a hint of cinnamon. They are great for breakfast or a snack and of course they make a tasty Valentine for anyone you happen to be BANANAS about!

BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/8 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease muffin tins and set aside. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl using electric hand mixer: beat together bananas, granulated sugar, egg and melted butter. Gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture careful not to over mix. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins-I use a cookie scoop for this. In a small bowl stir together brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is the texture of coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins and bake in preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely on a cooling rack.
Makes 2.5 dozen mini muffins
