Blueberry Banana Muffins With A Pecan Crunch

I like this recipe because it uses a convenient muffin mix, but is made special with extra added ingredients and a delicious topping.

Preheat oven to 400 and spray 12 muffin cups with non-stick spray.

Place the banana in a small mixing bowl and mash with a fork.

You should have 1 / 2 cup mashed banana.

Stir in the yogurt , egg and vanilla just until combined.

Set aside.

Place the muffin mix in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.

Pour the yogurt mixture into the well and stir just until combined.

Pour the blueberries that come with the muffin mix into a strainer , rinse under cold water and drain well.

Fold them into the batter until just combined.

The batter will still be a little bit lumpy.

Spoon 1 / 3 cup batter into each prepared muffin cup , filling it 3 / 4 full.

Set aside.

To make the topping , place the pecans , brown sugar and flour in a small bowl and stir together.

Add the butter , mashing it with a fork until the mixture is crumbly.

With your hands , sprinkle a heaping teaspoon of the topping on each muffin.

Place the pan in the oven.

Bake the muffins until the pecan toppin.
