• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 3/4 cup granulated Sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup brown Sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• Caramel Glaze:
• 2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Combine bananas, sugar, egg, butter, applesauce, and vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Combine the first three topping ingredients; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffins. Bake at 375°
for 18-20 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before
removing to a wire rack.
For glaze, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk; bring to a boil. Cool slightly. Whisk in confectioners' sugar. Drizzle generously over cooled muffins.
