Preparation

Step 1

Sift dry ingredients together.

Mix wet ingredients together.

Gently mix wet and dry together, just until mixed.

Makes 18 muffins (or 12 big ones)

Bake 350 degrees for 15 min. (for muffins)



I use my bananas from the freezer most the time,

I substitute splenda for sugar, applesauce for margarine, 1/4 to 1/2 cup wholewheat flour, or other fruit for part of the bananas, like part strawberry or blueberry, I also toss in chocolate chips and nuts (any kind of nut and up to 1/2 cup) if I want them.

I also bake it in a loaf pan and just increase the cooking time



I find it hard to mess up this recipe and it is very simple and versatile.



I followed Laura's recipe ALMOST to the letter. Two things I did different was:

1) I used 5 brown bananas instead of 4, it's what I had, and what else am I going to do with 1 brown banana?

2) I mixed up a topping of approximately: 1/3 cup light brown sugar

2 T flour

1 T melted butter

after mixing the sugar and flour and adding melted butter to crumble the mixture, I sprinkled it over top of the muffins before baking. The crumble didn't cover the entire top, you could easily see batter through the crumbs.



I did add 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips to batter after dipping out the 1st 6 muffins (some people in my house don't like chocolate in EVERYTHING... I know right? CRAZY!) My mix made 14 muffins total and baked for 22 minutes.



tips:

- when dipping batter for muffins into tins/papers, use an ice cream scoop sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Your muffins will come out the same size and you'll have less dripping messes :)
