Homemade Banana Muffins

I rarely ever eat bananas, but when I do decide to buy them while getting groceries, I am notorious for letting them get far too mushy to eat. However, I never throw them away. Banana muffins or bread is far too good to pass up! This weekend I realized my bananas were looking very brown so I decided to make homemade muffins for breakfast, of course.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

The recipe is as follows:

1-1/2 C all-purpose flour

1 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

1/2 t salt

3 large bananas, mashed

3/4 C white sugar

1/3 C butter, melted

2 T vegetable oil

-Preheat your oven to 350 degrees & put liners in your muffin tin

-Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt; set aside

-Combine bananas, sugar, egg, oil & melted butter in a large bowl

-Fold in flour mixture & mix until smooth **Be sure to not over-mix!

-Scoop into muffin tins & bake for 20-25 minutes

For a little added flavor, I also decided to add in these two ingredients:

1 t vanilla

1/2 t ground cinnamon

...and viola! Yummy homemade banana muffins in only about 35 minutes!

This recipe makes approximately 9 muffins.

A couple of added tips...

• You could easily make this recipe in a loaf or bundt pan, it would just take a little longer to bake so keep an eye on it!
• Adding 1/2 - 3/4 C of chocolate chips would be a great addition of flavor
• Many people enjoy banana nut muffins - just throw in 1 C chopped walnuts either toasted or raw
