Baking has always been a stress reliever of sorts for me. But if I kept baked goods around all the time a lot of them would go to waste or I’d devour them. So when I was working in the corporate world I would take treats and share with my coworkers so I didn’t have a bunch of baked goods sitting around the house. Now that I’m no longer working a 9-5, I send treats with Big to share with everyone.

A couple of weeks ago, one of Big’s coworkers scheduled a meeting late in the day—which caused him to get home quite late. So now we have a running joke, if they want to keep receiving treats, they can’t schedule late meetings. It seems to be working pretty well! So a couple of days ago, Big calls me in the middle of the day and says that Mr. D (a coworker) was having a rough day and needed a pick-me-up. So I whipped up a batch of these mini banana nut muffins. The crunch of the streusel topping is what makes them so great.

This recipe is so easy, it’s the only banana nut bread recipe you’ll ever need. You could easily throw this batter into a traditional loaf pan or regular-sized muffin tin. If so, follow these baking instructions:

• 9x5 loaf pan: 350°F for 50 min to 1 hour

• Muffin tin: 350°F for 20-25 minutes
