Beth your muffins look great and I love the addition of the crunchy topping (will have to try that next time). I am sure your friend will love these muffins and what a lovely gesture!

Your muffins look amazing Beth and it's always great to have different banana recipes to use up ripe bananas. I just love the idea of the crunchy topping too!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for partaking in this month's SSB bake :)

How sweet that you shared your muffins with someone who probably wouldn't bake them himself. I'm sure he was thrilled that you thought of him. Nice thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThe muffins look awesone.
Great idea about the sugar topping. As someone who baked for seniors for years, I can tell you it will be very very appreciated. I found that muffins and mini sweet breads were the perfect gift, they can be frozen and taken out as desired.
ReplyDeleteLovely of you to do this ...
Id definitely recommend the topping guys - it was fantastic. Oh and I froze some and they were fine. Will make double next time
ReplyDeleteMmmm... these look super tasty - and they look so well-risen compared with the couple of times I've tried making muffins!!
ReplyDeleteNicely risen - that looks like a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteThe sugar topping looks very nice! I am sure your friend will love them.
ReplyDeleteOh banaba muffins are always such a treat & then to add chocolate, decadent!
ReplyDeleteI'll be thrilled if you packed those muffins to my home :))
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely, Beth, what a shame I can't eat bananas, (sniff).
ReplyDeleteI sent the peanut butter chips on Monday (July 28), they may take about 10 days to arrive. And I still haven't decided what I want. I will let you know soon. Sorry about that, just things get in the way sometimes, you know how it is.
I must agree that these muffins are very easy to do and yummy too.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using the sugar toppings. I must try it one of these days :-)
Mmm those muffins look good. I love the tall peaked top you managed to get on them.
ReplyDeleteI just made banana and chocolate bread last night. I think yours looks better frankly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Holler - hubby works in Exeter -our nearest Lakeland store is there (50 miles away!). Have sent him to work this am with instructions to visit on lunch hour!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure what you meant by "mufin cases" but now I know! Here in the states we just call them muffin tin liners or cup cake liners, ha! We have them in pastel colors here, or even silver foil ones that you don't even have to put in a muffin tin, just on a baking sheet. I have lots of bananas in the freezer so will have to try these.
