When you have just too many over ripe bananas and you are tired of making Banana Bread these are a wonderful treat for snacking.

1 1/2 cups Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
pinch of Salt
3/4 cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed

1/2 cup smooth Peanut Butter
1 cup ripe Bananas, mashed (2 -4 depending on size)
2 Eggs (Egg Replacer)
3/4 cup Milk (Soy Milk)
1 teaspoon Vanilla

1/4 cup Strawberry Jam
1/4 cup Streusel Topping

Streusel Topping
1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
1/2 cup Flour
1/2 cup Butter, slightly softened

Combine brown sugar and flour together in small mixing bowl.
Cut butter into cubes and toss into the flour mixture.
Rub together until crumbly.

Preheat oven to 375F.
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

In large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.

Pour the liquid ingredients, all at once, into the dry ingredients and stir just until combines. Batter will be lumpy.
