Banana Blueberry Muffins


Apparently this is a great compliment with purple crayon, which Sweet Pea enjoyed just prior to eating the muffin. I had a difficult time naming this because I wanted to emphasize that these are Blueberry muffins with a hint of banana, and not the other way around. I'm not sure how well I did that but I have to say, the streusel topping gives these muffins extra get-out-of-bed power.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-2 extra ripe bananas
1 cup blueberries

Streusel topping:
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons butter, softened


Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F

Cream together sugar, oil, and egg. Then add milk and almond extract.

Add the dry ingredients and mix together.

Add fruit and mix again. Be sure to mix until just blended, over mixing adds air bubbles which aren't very tasty or pretty.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter

In a new bowl, mush together streusel topping. I like to use my hands, they do the best job.

Top the muffins with the streusel and put in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
