I love these muffins! A basic banana batter topped with a walnut streusel that makes this more like a coffee cake than a muffin. Perfect with a morning cup of tea (or coffee). These store well in an airtight container for a few days. A super simple recipe to get your morning started 🙂

- 1/4 C vegan Margarine softened

- 2 Tbl Walnuts chopped
- 2 Tbl vegan Brown Sugar

- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the margarine and sugar. Add the applesauce and the vanilla.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to the creamed mixture just until moistened.

What great pictures! These are wonderful and I love to streusel toppings! I made a great mango muffin is a streusel topping, but I really should do them more. Thanks for the idea!
