Instructions

Preheat oven to 375. Line muffin pan with cups, if desired. Squirt each cup with non-stick cooking spray. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well blended. In a separate smaller bowl combine next 5 ingredients (bananas - butter), stir until well blended. In another separate small bowl, combine next 6 ingredients (almonds - nutmeg) for muffin topping. Add banana mixture to the flour mixture along with the raisins, if you desire. STIR JUST UNTIL MOISTENED. Do not over stir. Fill muffin cups 2/3 way full. Press enough of the brown sugar-nut topping into each muffin to cover the top, and to your taste. About 2 Tbsp per muffin. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes, until the muffin springs back when lightly touched. Makes 16 small muffins, or 8 giant-sized muffins.
