1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 large ripe bananas mashed
3/4 cups sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
1/3 cup melted butter
1 tbsp vanilla

Topping
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp cold butter ( i just use what is left of the stick from after using the 1/3 cup for batter)
1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg

In large bowl mix the first 4 ingredients
In another bowl mix banana, sugar, egg, butter and vanilla
Stir wet and dry ingredients together until just barely mixed
Fill muffin tins 3/4 full (makes 12 muffins)
Combine the topping ingredients
Sprinkle over muffins
