Oatmeal-Walnut Crumb Topping Ingredients:

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into tiny pieces

Banana Muffin Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.

To make the streusel, in a medium sized bowl, stir together walnuts, oats, brown sugar, flour, baking powder and salt, until well combined. Knead in the butter using your fingertips until well combined and clumpy; set aside

To make the muffins, in a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together banana, egg, milk, butter, brown sugar and vanilla until well combined; whisk in dry ingredients until just combined.
Divide batter into muffin cups and evenly top with the prepared crumb topping. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and well risen. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
