Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until they're smooth. Scrape the bowl down, then beat in the egg, spices, banana and milk.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, then gently stir them into butter-sugar mixture.

4. Spoon batter into 12 lightly greased muffin cups. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and after 10 minutes turn them out of the pan to cool.

Notes: Very good. Only quibble is that it was very dense and my preference is for a lighter muffin
