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

A Little About Me...

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I want to start off with telling you a little about me and the direction I hope to take my blog posts, so I'll keep it short and sweet! My name is McKayla and I am a senior marketing major with a sales emphasis at the University of Northern Iowa. My blog is going to focus on my own personal experiences with cooking while living away from home on a college budget. I'll share recipes of food that I have made, along with photos and tips!

Ever since I was little I have always loved learning from and cooking with my mom and sisters, and now that I am on my own at college I haven't lost my passion for cooking. More often than not, I am making dinner with my roommates and/or boyfriend throughout the week. If you looked through my Pinterest page you might guess I was a culinary arts major, as my pins are mainly food-related. I'm obsessed and not afraid to admit it. I love finding new recipes and putting a different twist on them every so often. Throughout my posts this semester I hope you love the recipes I share just as much as I do!

Enjoy!
