This recipe is the only banana muffin recipe I use! It is my mother-in-laws and it is delicious! It is a great way to use up over ripe bananas.
Ingredients:
5 ripe bananas or 4 ripe bananas and 1/3 cup of applesauce
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup melted butter
milk chocolate chips (optional) *see note at bottom*
In a medium sized bowl mash the bananas until you have a smooth consistency. Add sugar and slightly beaten egg to the bananas. Next add melted butter and mix until well blended. Set aside.
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until blended.
Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and mix just until blended.
Grease muffin tins with butter. Pour batter into muffin tins. This recipe makes 12 muffins. Bake at 350 F degrees for 22-25 minutes until tester comes out clean! Enjoy!
*Not everyone in our home likes chocolate chips so I have a trick! I place approximately 8-10 chocolate chips on the top of the batter once the batter has been poured in the muffin tins. This way I can have some muffins with chocolate chips and some without. I then mix the chocolate chips into the batter with the end of a fork or spoon and bake as per above directions.
