Banana Muffins
Ingredients and Method
Into a bowl put: 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1 cup sugar Stir to mix the ingredients together. In another bowl put: 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 cup applesauce (I use miscellaneaous stewed fruit or omit and add an extra banana) 2 tsp. vanilla 2 bananas, very ripe and thoroughly mashed Mix these ingredients and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix everything together by hand. Do not overmix or the muffins will be tough and not light and airy. Divide the batter into 12 muffin cups and bake on the middle rack until the tops are golden, about 25 minutes at 325 degrees F. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack as soon as you can handle them or the bottoms will sweat and ruin your perfect muffin. Makes 12 |
