Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a standard size muffin tin (will make
10-11 muffins)

Prepare flax egg in a large mixing bowl. Let set for 5 minutes.

Add banana and mash, leaving just a bit of texture.

Add brown sugar, baking soda, salt and whisk for one minute.

Stir in vanilla, melted butter and mix.

Add flour and oats and stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Lastly, fold in walnuts (optional).

Divide batter evenly among 10-11 muffin tins, filling a generous 3/4 full (I fill mine practically full for aesthetic effect).

Quickly wipe your mixing bowl and add crumble ingredients. Prepare crumble top by mashing ingredients together with a fork until crumbly like wet sand. Generously top muffins with streusel. You should have leftovers.

Bake for 17-22 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick or knife comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes, remove from muffin tin and serve warm. Once completely cooled, store in a covered container at room temp for several days. Freeze for longer term storage.
