Banana Toffee Muffin Tops

Oh, these were simple and delicious. I'm always looking for different, yet easy recipes and I found this one in my Taste of Home Quick Cooking Cookbook. I did make a few subsitutions, but they really turned out great. This is a fantastic way to use up those really ripe bananas instead of making the traditional banana bread (You could also try this recipe for Banana Oatmeal Bread). Using the baking mix really makes these a piece of cake to whip up.

Banana Toffee Muffin Tops From Quick Cooking 2006

2 1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix
1/3 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle (could also try mini chocolate chips)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (this I did not have on hand and substituted milk instead and they turned out fine)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
Additional sugar if desired

In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix, toffee bits and sugar. In another bowl, combine the egg, cream and vanilla; stir in the bananas. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined.

Drop by tablespoonful onto greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired. Bake at 425 degrees for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen.
