Banana Crumb Muffins

I am my toughest critic, really I am. I usually have a number of brave and eager guinea pigs who are willing to taste test my baked goods. Therefore, I hardly ever have to try anything I bake. They tell me "yay" or "nay" and that is all I need to know.

But when these scrumptious muffins came out the oven, I couldn't resist! If there was a banana crumb muffin scented candle- this would be it. The smell of these muffins perfumed my kitchen that afternoon and I succumbed to the temptation when I pulled them out the oven. Moist, banana-y and just perfect. They are hands down one of the best things I've ever baked in life- EVER.
