BANANA AND BUTTERSCOTCH CHIP MUFFINS



 Ever since I saw these mini muffins with butterscotch chips at nans yum yums Iv been dying to make them! I cant tell you how many shops Iv visited just to find these darn butterscotch chips!

Only when you are looking for something your sure never to find them. rite????????

Anyway I had the good fortune of meeting my dear friend nandita during my Chennai visit this time. Had a lovely time bonding with her while the rest of the bloggers where having fun at bloggers buzz!! :P
She was thoughtful enough to bring me some of those 'almost' extinct butterscotch chips! 'Finally' I thought.....I would be baking those much desired muffins! yes yes! those muffins were love at first sight! :D

Those muffins were almost good, except for the missing chocolate chips that nans recipe had! oh well! maybe next time.................

I made a few changes to the recipe and also got ideas from this one. I loved her idea of using a crumb mixture on top, which made it extra special. The final product were those soft muffins with the crispy crunchy crumb topping! Tastes amazing the day you make it.
If you're planning to keep it in the fridge and eat it ...you might want to omit the crumb topping as it gets a bit soggy!

 happy baking peeps!! :)
