Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a microwave safe mixing bowl.
- 2. While the butter is melting, in another mixing bowl, sift together with a whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and herbs, if desired, until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- 3. Add milk and egg to the melted butter. Whisk together slightly until blended. Stir bread crumbs into the milk mixture. Set aside to soak a few minutes.
- 4. Fold the dry ingredients into the milk and crumb mixture, stirring just until all is moistened and combined.
- 5. Fill muffin cups, that have been prepared with food release spray, about 2/3 full. Bake 25 minutes at 375*.
- 6. NOTES: Use whatever herbs you like, or none at all. I've even crunched up French Fried Onions in them :) Keep bread heels in a bag in the freezer, for a quick whirl in the food processor -- any combination will do! Or just defrost slightly and cube them. Use about three heels for 2 c. of cubes. I like to keep dry stuffing mix on hand. When I'm in a hurry I sub 2 c. of the croutons for the bread crumbs -- and they're already seasoned :) Why not try them using leftover dressing or stuffing? Don't forget to adjust the amount of milk and butter. So wonderful with a bowl of soup! I use my DeMarle muffin trays, for super easy release. If you don't have one -- I highly recommend it! *This recipe is easily made gluten free by using GF bread crumbs or cubes, and GF all purpose baking flour.

KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS
A hearty loaf of banana bread is an excellent way to use up a pile of leftover bananas, but sometimes you want a lighter option. These tender banana muffins are crowned with a delightfully crunchy cinnamon crumb topping that lends to their addictive nature. The easy recipe, which doesn't require any special equipment - just a couple of bowls - was adapted from one originally developed by a 9-year old named Meghan Cwikla. With it, she won the junior division at the 1997 State Baking Contest at the Connecticut State Fair.

Steps:
- For the topping, in a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add butter or margarine and mix with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Put aside while preparing muffin batter.
- For the muffins, in large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, sugar, slightly beaten egg and melted butter or margarine. Mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. (Do not use paper muffin cups!) Using hands, arrange coarse, pea-sized crumbs over muffin batter.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until muffins test done with a cake tester. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Tips:
- To achieve the best texture for your muffins, use fresh, soft bread crumbs. Day-old bread is ideal.
- For a sweeter muffin, use a combination of white and brown sugar. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for a richer flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full to prevent them from overflowing during baking.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry them out.
