There always seems to be a few bananas on death’s doorstep in the banana bowl sitting on top of the refrigerator. I am not sure how this happens but it is a regular occurrence in my kitchen. So then one must make the big decision, banana loaf or banana muffins? Today the muffins won.

To dress up the banana muffins and add a little crunch I sprinkled some granola on top. It really was just the crumbs at the bottom of the bag- you know the ones you don’t really want in your cereal bowl, but feel guilty throwing in the garbage. Those crumbs make an ideal topping for muffins, so keep them!

I am always amazed at the delicious aroma that such a few ingredients can create. After baking the muffins, we had gone for a walk outside and when we came back in the smell was so amazing my stomach started to growl- LUNCH time!

So the next time you have those 2 sorry looking bananas sitting on your kitchen counter mix up a batch of muffins and don’t forget the granola crumbs!
