    3/4 cup whole wheat flour
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
    1/2 tsp. baking soda

Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, 3/4 tsp. of the cinnamon, the baking soda and 1/4 tsp. salt. Make a well in the center; set aside.

2. In a medium bowel, whisk together buttermilk and eggs; whisk in banana, 2 tbsp. melted butter and vanilla. Add butterrmilk mixture all at once to the flour mixture; stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Spoon batterinto prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

3. For topping: In a bowel, stir together remaining 1/4 cup oats and remaining 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.Using a pastry blender, cut in 1 tbsp. butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle mixture on top of muffin batter. (Optional: Sprinkle 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. sugar on batter also. This will change the calories.)
