Banana Crumb Muffins

Well, the kitchen has gotten a little out of hand lately and it is time to get back on track. Anyone else had a problem with bananas lasting these days? I guess it depends on how you prefer them, I prefer them more green than ripe - my boys want no color changes or mushy 'nanners and so with that I have got 4 dieting bananas on my counter - so today's  recipe to try are these Banana Crumb Muffins since I have no nuts available for Banana Nut Bread and those look tasty. I like to make things to have in the freezer ready for when the boys need a snack, a little something extra for breakfast, guest come to visit, etc. After they back I place them in freezer proof bags and refrigerate all but enough a day or so. I usually prefer to do minis for the kids....This should be a hit with my boys! I have been on a honey kick lately - so I am altering the recipe I found and adding honey. Did you know that honey is a natural energy booster along with other benefits ... look for a blog to come on the benefits of honey!
