It would be an interesting google search to find out who it was that first put a sliced banana atop their cereal in the morning. But who got time for that?! It's really not that important to me to look up, but all I know is that I have done it my entire life, more often than not with a sprinkle of brown sugar on top. Anybody else? Since my childhood, I've gotten a little more sophisticated with my breakfast choices by swapping out the the big boxed cereal with artisan (Grizzlies Brand) raw grain cereals and granolas, and alternating between an alternative milks or greek yogurt. Top it with a banana and you have a breakfast. It's fast, it's easy, and it gets me going in the morning.
The point is, I rarely associate a raw grain cereal without a banana. That is why you'll see a lot of bananas in our instagram feed. It just goes! Well, that and its waaaaaay cheaper than a little plastic clamshell of fresh bloooobs, or strawberries. Who can afford that?! Especially when my 3 year old can polish off a whole pack in 5 seconds.

I digress. This recipe puts together the lovely combination of muesli and banana in a bitesize muffin, that will both satisfy your families breakfast cravings and that 3 year old blueberry monster. You might be thinking banana bread, and you'd partially be right to think that, but the added muesli and light crispy crumble on top gives it that perfect distinction for you heavy banana bread. Think of it as a condensed version of your sophisticated grown up breakfast in a muffin mold. Now you're all thinking about muffin tops, which may or may not be a good thing. Think that crispy top of a muffin kind of muffin top.
