Banana ANZAC Muffins

 

ANZAC day is coming up this week but I feel as though it was just yesterday that I made ANZAC biccies (recipe here). I found these banana muffins with an ANZAC crumble on top and knew I had to try them. The result is an incredibly light and fluffy banana muffin with the sweet crumble on top. The original recipe was 'healthy' (kind of) but there wasn't enough crumble for me, so I've modified the recipe to include more for next time.
