Banana Carrot Muffins with Streusel Topping

Streusel Topping:

1/4 c all purpose flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 c packed light brown sugar

2 T unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a bowl and press with fork until they resemble "crumbs". I use my fingers to pinch the ingredients together. I think it works faster than the fork.

Sift together, flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In large bowl beat sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Stir in bananas and carrots.
