Cherry-Banana Crumbs Muffin

Finally I come back with a recipe to share. Been very busy with the kids and home lately and missing blogging a lot. This time I would like to share a banana recipe together with some Indonesian foodie bloggers in the event of MASBAR. As some of you may know this is a monthly event, where we share our passion of cooking together, and each month we have a theme to accomplish.

My husband loves these banana muffins, he can have them 3 in one go. I like the smell of cinnamon and the crunchiness of the crumbs. I got the recipe from here, and modified it by adding some cherries.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 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 white sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup of half-cut maraschino cherries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease muffin tins or line it with muffin papers. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Add the cherries and mix well. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 Tbsp flour and cinnamon. Mix in 1 Tbsp butter until coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins. Bake for 18-20min, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
