Tasty Banana Muffins

My homemade Banana Muffins!

Maybe its the time of year, maybe its pregnancy "cravings,"  but after Josh's mom gave us a loaf of banana bread and it lasted a whole few days, I was itching to make more.  So I ran off to Target and bought some bananas and patiently waited for them to turn brown.  While the days were going by waiting for them to be ready, my coworker gave me the idea of making muffins instead of bread.  I loved the idea.  Easier to bring to work for a snack, no messy crumbs all over from cutting a slice, and faster baking time.  So I found a recipe and made them a week after buying the bananas.  They probably werent ripe enough, but they worked so I dont care!

This recipe makes a dozen of them.  I mistakenly thought they wouldn't last, so I made two batches.  I now have 10 muffins with mold on them.  On a related note, they last about a week and a half before they get moldy.  Take it from me, I know :)  

Ingredients:

3 Large ripe bananas

1/2 c sugar

1 egg

1/3 c butter, melted

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 c flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

• Mash the bananas in large bowl.  I found that using a fork worked best for me.  
• Mix sugar, egg, and butter in with the mashed bananas.
• In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt
• Mix everything in the two bowls together well
• Pour into greased muffin tin, or muffin cups like I used
• Bake for 20 minutes
• Enjoy! 

Once again, this recipe makes 12 muffins
