  • 3 medium overripe bananas mashed
  • 3/4 cup sugar

For Crumb Topping

  • 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a muffin pan lightly with non stick cooking spray and line with muffin liners.

  3. In medium bowl, stir together mashed bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla extract and melted butter.

  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. In a small bowl, toss chopped pecans with 1 tablespoon of flour. Then stir pecans into muffins batter. Divide batter evenly between muffin cups.
