Banana Walnut Muffins

Description: Sprinkiling cinnamon-sugar on the batter just before baking makes a crunchy top. I have also subbed chocolate chips for the walnuts.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/3 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 1/3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup golden raisin
• 1 cup mashed banana (about 1 to 2)
• 1 cup whole milk yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted (or vegetable oil)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with baking liners.
2. In a small bowl mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon, walnuts and raisins.
4. In a small bowl, beat together the banana, yogurt and egg with a fork. Stir in the butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
5. Fill the lined muffin cups. Sprinkle with the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Bake until golden and toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
