Banana Muffins

I found an easy and delicious recipe for Banana Muffins! This is from Cat Can Cook. I also added some of my preferences. It seriously took no time at all.


Banana Muffins - makes 12 muffins in a cupcake pan. But only 10 are shown in the above picture because umm, they looked so cute and yummy that I ate two right after taking them out of the oven. Hehe

Ingredients:
3 or 4 ripe bananas, mashed. Use 4 if you want them to be moister.

Generous 1/2 cup white sugar

1 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

Optional: mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts of choice

Directions:
* Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together in a bowl. Set aside.

* In a separate (larger) bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour.

* Pour half of the wet mix into the dry mix. After a few stirs with a spatula or wooden spoon, add the rest of the wet mix in and incorporate. Be careful to not over mix.

* Throw in a handful of mini chocolate chips and some chopped nuts (I chose pecans). Give it a quick stir.

* Pour into a greased and floured cupcake pan, and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes.

* Let them cool down for a bit, and they would pop right off the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!
