August 17: Banana Muffins

We had extra-ripe bananas today, so banana muffins was the no-brainer choice for baking day.  Tysen devours muffins, so he was thrilled we were making them ,but Koen opted out of the baking session meaning he didn't get to enjoy them.  Bummer for him because they were great as usual!  Here's the simple recipe we usually use.

Banana Bread

1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
2 very ripe bananas
2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
     In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking soda. 
     Put all the rest of the ingredients into the blender - the butter (I usually soften this first), the bananas, and the eggs - and let 'er rip!  Blend this until smooth.
     Pour the blended banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
     Spoon the batter into a well-greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour.  If you want, you can bake this in muffin pans instead.  Grease the cups (or use paper cups), fill them almost to the top, and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
     Makes 1 loaf or about 10 muffins.

  1. You would think Koen would learn after all these times...it seems like every time you make something yummy he opts out. Someday I guess he'll learn:) jane
