If you are feeling kinda crunchy, change up the sugar for honey, substitute a cup of whole wheat flour for a cup of white flour, and add a couple tablespoons of ground flax (my favorite secret ingredient) to the mixture. They will never know :o)
Banana Muffins
(a triple batch)
Ingredients:
8-9 bananas, mashed well
3 large eggs
3 cups sugar (or a bit less if you prefer)
1 cup vegetable oil
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a dash of salt
Directions:
- Peel the bananas and mash them up well in a large bowl.
- Add eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla and mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a pile on top of wet mixture. Lightly fluff the dry ingredients together before mixing it in to the wet ingredient below.
- Grease muffin tin, or line with paper cups, and scoop mixture into cups to fill a little over half full.
- Bake at 375* for 18 to 20 minutes. (in my oven they are done in 18 minutes)
I love that this recipe uses oil instead of butter, as using butter in everything can get pretty expensive. Because this is a triple batch recipe, it usually makes 3 dozen muffins. I leave one dozen in a Ziploc bag to enjoy the week that I make them and place the other two dozen in the freezer. I can pull one or two muffins out as needed or just let the whole bag thaw on the counter to eat later. It's wonderful!
And here is a "sweet" verse to feed your soul.
"Kind words are like honey - sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." ~ Proverbs 16:24
May you be blessed with peace and health today! May kindness be found in your words and may they bring life and grace to the hearer!
Have a wonderful week,
