Banana Crumb Muffins

I got a job!! While I'm sad I won't be able to be home with my babies anymore I'm so excited for this new opportunity. This job kinda  just fell into my lap. I was at my dentist and thought I should apply there. I mean I have the experience to work as a receptionist at any medical office. So I went online and looked on their website for a careers tab. Sure enough they had one and I emailed the person on the website. Within an hour I got an email asking when I could come in for an interview. I made it for that Thursday. Then when I went in they didn't ask me any questions really except what are you excepting to get paid lol. They were talking like I already had the job. They then set up a second interview with the general manager for the following Tuesday.  I went in and again I wasn't really interviewed she just said this is the job, this is the pay, when can you start! I was like OMG yay!! First of all it's a job and they will be paying me the pay I needed. It is a pay cut from before but that's fine like I said it's what I needed. And second of all it's a job I can do and do well. I'm so excited to get started. I actually got the job back at the end of May but said I couldn't start till this coming Monday. I wanted the extra time to get things done at home with the kids and what not. Oh also now because I'll be working Monday through Friday I only need my mom to watch the kids 3 days a week! My husbands schedule is Wednesday through Sunday so he has Monday and Tuesday off. How great is that?! I'm excited and not nervous or anxious like I was when I first went back when Melody was little. Here is to new opportunities! 

Now that I have a job the blog might take a back seat to everything else that I have going on. I will try to plan a day to do an update so I can keep at it. I did bake a whole lot last week so I have enough for a weekly entry for at least the next 5 weeks. And that is where we will start. Today's recipe is a muffin! I know not a cookie haha! This was one of the first recipes I made from Pinterest. I was in a muffin making mood one day and just baked a ton of them. We always have banana's in the house so I thought lets to banana muffins instead of banana bread. So I went onto Pinterest and found this recipe. It came out so great even my daughter loved them.

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1 egg, slightly beaten

1/2 tsp. salt

1/3 cup butter , melted

2. In a separate bowl mix the bananas, egg, and butter. 

3. Stir banana mixture into dry ingredients until just moistened. 

4. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.

5. Combine the Topping ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffins.

6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes.

These are great and only 6 PPVs.

They make a great morning snack and are much better for you than store bought muffins.

I think next time I am going to add chocolate chips to them but I think adding nuts would work too.

Like I said the whole family likes these muffins and I'm sure yours will too!

If you make them let me know how you like that! Thanks!
