DATES/BANANA CRUMB MUFFIN

INGREDIENTS :
1 1/2 cups or 190 gr all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 bananas, mashed (me : 12 dates, cut into square small pieces)
3/4 cup or 150 gr white sugar (me : 125 gr)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup or 75 gr butter, melted (or 1/3 cup oil)
1/3 cup or 75 gr packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (me : optional)
1 tablespoon butter

DIRECTIONS :
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
