The weather is finally getting cooler which means that I am back in the kitchen baking. If I had to pick three favorite items I like to bake – they would be: a) banana muffins c) chocolate chip cookies and c) fruit crisps.
Basically I like to make anything that can freeze!!
This particular blog entry will be dedicated to the Best Ever Banana Muffins!! Naturally this recipe is from the Toronto Star, (Sept 3, 20008) and is Star Tested. Just so you know, I’ve been a fan of the Toronto Star Wednesday Food Section for as long as I can remember.
Ingredients:
2 cups of mashed bananas (about 5) ps the darker the better
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup melted butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Method:
In a large bowl, mash bananas. (I use the mix master for this part – kinda like them really really mushy).
Sir in sugar and egg.
Add melted butter.
Stir in baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour to make a thick batter.
Fill each cup of a 12 cup muffin tin about 3/4 full. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.
THESE MUFFINS FREEZE BEAUTIFULLY.
**If you want you can also add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
Happy Baking.
