How many of you have bananas that you can’t eat fast enough? Don’t throw them away yet, my Banana Crumb Muffins are quick and easy to make and delicious.

Banana Crumb Muffins

1 ½ Cups all -purpose flour                         1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder                          ½ teaspoon salt

3 mashed bananas                                        ¾ cup sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten                                     1/3 cup of butter, melted

½ teaspoon cinnamon                                  2 Tablespoons brown sugar

Crumb Topping

1/3 cup brown sugar                                    2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon cinnamon                                  1 Tablespoon butter

1.       First, take your melted butter and mix in your lightly beaten egg. Mix well.

2.       Take a little bowl and mash your bananas, then add to your melted butter and lightly beaten eggs.

3.       Next stir in your baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well.

4.       Now add your flour and mix well.

5.       In a separate little bowl mix up your crumb topping. Take your un-melted butter and with a fork press it into your cinnamon, sugar and flour mixture. This should look like little pieces of crumbs.

6.       Next, take your twelve piece muffin tin and line them with muffin tins. If you do not want to use muffin tins just spray with non- stick spray. Filling your tins ¾ full.

7.       Next, with a spoon sprinkle your crumb topping on top of your muffin mixture.

8.       Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Placing a toothpick into the muffin to check if it is done. When the toothpick comes out clean your muffins are done.

9.       Enjoy while they are warm, or just reheat in the microwave for later.

How to dehydrate and make apple and banana chips plus homemade raisins

Welcome back to Suzie Homemakers helpful tips and ideas. Hope you liked your homemade fruit roll-ups. Today I would like to continue on with more dehydrating ideas. Like I said my dehydrator gets used at least once a week. Another thing I like to make with my dehydrator is apple and banana and pear chips plus homemade raisins. My children don’t like to eat fresh bananas but when I make banana chips it’s like candy to them. I like to watch when the grocery stores have bananas getting too ripe and I buy several pounds at a time. Most grocery stores will sell these bananas at a discounted price. Watch for pears and apples to be on sale too so you can dehydrate these also. I like to buy the purple grapes to dehydrate for homemade raisins. There are so many different kinds of fruits you can dehydrate. If you ever priced dry fruit out in the store it is very expensive. Dehydrating your own saves a lot of money.I like to make my own trail mix this way and it’s much cheaper than buying it in the store. Dehydrating fresh fruit cut into pieces is another great way to save money. You can sprinkles then on your favorite cereal in the morning. Just remember that dehydrating fruit will take you most of the day. The raisins and bananas took over 10 hours to dehydrate. The apples took a little less time.
    In my short video, I will show you step by step how to make banana and apple chips, plus homemade raisins with the dehydrator. It’s easy and fun to do plus it saves you money. The whole family will love them.
