if you like banana bread, you will adore these banana muffins. The crunchy nut streusel topping makes these muffins especially tasty. These muffins really taste best right out of the oven, but you can store them in an airtight container for several days or pop in a zipper-sealed plastic storage bag and put in the freezer for several months.

These are the very best banana nut muffins EVER and I consider myself quite the expert. The first dozen I made were devoured in 24 hours. My family ate them for breakfast, snacks and dessert!
