Banana muffins

Banana bread is my such a delicious comfort food, and I always seem to have a surplus of aging or frozen bananas in my house. The thing I don't like about it, is how it doesn't come in individual servings.

I changed up my traditional go to banana bread recipe, to make them a bit fluffier for my muffins, and it turned out great!

I always forget that I need more bananas than I originally wrote down, so they never turn out as banana-y as I like. The recipe at the bottom has the corrected amount of bananas you should use!


Feel free to spice things up with a variety of other flavours: nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, anise, etc. Alternately, you could add fruit or nuts, such as blueberries, strawberry bits, walnuts, or pecans.


Banana muffins 
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 bananas, mashed
1/2 cup milk 
1. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating until just combined.
2. Sift together dry ingredients, mix together wet ingredients.
3. Starting and ending with the dry, mix in the the flour and bananas alternately until just combined.
4. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full of batter and bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
