In A Hurry Scrumptious Banana Muffins {Recipe}

My family loves banana bread, but sometimes we just don't have an hour to wait for a fresh loaf to bake. So I have started making what I call the "in a hurry scrumptious banana muffin". 

In A Hurry Scrumptious Banana Muffins

Makes approx. 12 muffins 

4 mashed ripe bananas

1/2 C white sugar

1 egg, beaten

1/3 C melted butter

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 C flour

Step 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2. Place parchment paper cupcake wrappers in a cupcake/muffin tin or use cooking spray in each cavity and set aside. 

Step 3. Whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour together in a bowl and set aside. Step 4. In a separate bowl combine the mashed bananas, sugar, egg and butter together.

Step 5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix well. 

Step 6. Pour batter into muffin tin, filling each cavity approximately 2/3 full. 

Step 7. Bake for approximately 20 minutes and check with a toothpick. 

If you have any left over, place the extras in a ziplock bag and store in refrigerator or freezer. Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips to your recipe. We like ours plain with melted butter fresh out of the oven!

Give them a try!

Bananas About You

What do you do when you have 4 large ripe bananas? Make banana bread of course! My husband has been asking me to make banana bread for a while, so I thought this would be a sweet little treat for him with his coffee in the morning.

Here is my recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large bowl or Kitchen Aid type mixer add:
1 C flour
2/3 C sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
Mix well then add
1 C mashed ripe bananas
1/3 C shortening
2 eggs
2 Tbls 2% milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients until blended well then add
3/4 C flour
Mix again until blended well.

I used a mini loaf pan that I got from William Sonoma  (seriously in love with this pan BTW) which I sprayed with a little cooking spray (Pam) then added a sheet of parchment that I cut to fit up the long sides of each section. Fill each mini pan approximately 3/4 full and bake for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to test with a toothpick, if it pulls out clean get them out. I let these cool for a bit then stick them all in a large ziploc bag so they don't dry out.

If you use a regular sized loaf pan, grease add parchment if you like (not necessary though) and fill pan with batter. Bake for 50-55 minutes and check.

To go along with this recipe I created some little tags that you can attach for your special someone, maybe for Valentine's day??? Download your tags HERE!!
