The temperatures have already started to drop here in Chicagoland. College football is back and it is definitely time for some fall baking! Banana muffins are definitely a year-round treat in our house but there is something so cozy about muffins on the first cool, crisp morning. My favorite part – other than the fact that they’re super easy and quick to make and only require one bowl – is their crunchy, sugary top.
Why a smooth banana mixture?
This is definitely a personal choice, but I don’t want chunks of banana in my muffins and I personally prefer the consistency. You definitely don’t have to do it that way! Totally a preference thing.
