Banana toffee streusel muffins are moist and delicious with an addictive streusel topping
You know how in your senior year of college or high school, you caught senioritis? Where you didn’t want to do anything and were just really lethargic? Well, I think that’s what’s going on at work right now. I think it’s the holiday-itis. Everyone at work is just waiting for next week to be over so they can all take off for vacation. I wish I were going somewhere for the holidays this year. We’re sticking around the DC area since we just went to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. You know what would be magical? To go to New York City one weekend in December to see the Christmas decorations and the marvelous Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. I’ve seen pics of it and it’s just so grand and beautiful!
I don’t know if banana flavored desserts are much of a holiday time flavor but toffee is so I guess it’s a nice little façade on a holiday muffin. You could use this banana muffins recipe for a sweet breakfast on Christmas morning or just to have around the house the snack on. Believe me, the toffee streusel is addicting. I could eat the tops of every one of these muffins if I could! The banana in these muffins make them so moist, too.
I have a wonderful holiday baker’s giveaway coming your way at 2:00pm EST today so be sure to come back later! In the meantime, you can grab the recipe below.
