I don’t really need an excuse to have muffins in the morning but back to school is a pretty good one, don’t you think? I can’t believe summer is just about over! My kids are getting a looooong summer vacation because of our move. They got out just before Memorial Day and go back in Oregon after Labor Day. Stacey’s kids are already back in school and it’s been strange not sending my third grader in with them. I can’t wait to see how school goes for my little monkeys this year in Oregon.
I always have a hard time trying to decide between banana muffins and blueberry muffins so I decided to continue with my love of combining foods and make these banana blueberry crumb muffins. They were exactly what I wanted. The best of both!!! I love crumb toppings on muffins so I always have to have it now when I make muffins. What kid wouldn’t want a nice warm fresh baked muffin before heading off to school? 🙂
