No mixer needed here. In fact, muffins are better when you mix by hand because you’re more likely not to overmix them which makes for a tough muffin.Banana Crumb Muffins - Moist banana muffins with a little cinnamon and nutmeg and topped with tons and tons of crumb topping. the-girl-who-ate-everything.com

 The original topping wasn’t enough for my liking so I doubled it. Try to sprinkle as much as you possibly can on top and then you might have a tad left over which I ate.
My sisters and I used to eat brown sugar by the spoonful growing up. Weird, huh.

I’ve made these Banana Crumb Muffins a million times. This time when I made them I had just put them in the oven for a couple of minutes when I looked over to the egg that was supposed to be in the batter sitting on the counter.

Ugh. Good news, they actually were fabulous without. Didn’t even miss it. So if someone you know has an egg allergy just know that these are great without any eggs.
