AWESOME BANANA MUFFINS



AWESOME BANANA MUFFINS image

Categories     Banana

Yield 12 large size

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)
1/2 cup white sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup, but I don't like them too sweet)
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 cup melted margarine or butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 degrees F oven for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy! *These are much more flavourful the next day, and they freeze very nicely too! *Also, if you like walnuts, you can throw a handful of those in there as well for some added flavour and texture, or try adding chocolate chips, or better yet, BOTH!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. You can also use overripe bananas, which will make your muffins even more moist.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to ensure that your muffins are light and fluffy.
  • Use a muffin liner: Muffin liners will help to prevent your muffins from sticking to the pan and will also make them easier to remove. If you don't have muffin liners, you can grease the muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The muffins should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Banana muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
