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.

I live for streusel. That’s how serious my love of streusel is.
That toffee streusel is insane!! I’d probably just eat it all off the top of the muffins after they’d baked :)
I was in NYC last month – I found out when we were on the plane going home that they put up the tree at Rockefeller Center the MORNING after we went to see it! It wouldn’t have been decorated or anything if we’d been there, but I was still soo pissed! I’d love to see it someday too!
I have an awesome banana muffin recipe that I love, but I’ve never been able to decide what kind of streusel to put on top. This toffee streusel sounds perfect!
I love streusel, these muffins look incredible!
This is a glorious mouth full that hubs would totally love!
Banana muffins know no season–I love those little guys year round. And toffee streusel topping?!? I foresee myself left with a whole pan of orphan muffin bottoms; I won’t be able to resist gobbling away all of the tops.
I want to put this toffee streusel on everything in my house.
I also want to go to NYC for Christmas time!! I guess I’d like to go there any other time, too!
Your muffins are killing me. I want them now!
We are huge muffin fans here – and how can you go wrong when toffee is involved!
Streusel anything is the best! I love muffins too. And bananas. And toffee. Pretty much, I need to make these! :) I really want to go to NYC at Christmastime too. We should plan it for next year ;)
