Banana Muffins

Leah and I made these so you know they are yum. Leah directed, and I assisted.

We basically used the following recipe, but used about 1/3 cup butter and added extra olive oil to make up the difference. about 4 tbs. we added cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice (about 1/2 tsp each) we added extra sugar (1 cup). also added oatmeal. we thought about adding choc chips but didn't (this might be good another time). we made muffins instead of bread and baked them for 20 min. yum!

if made again: add more oil, butter, sugar, bananas, honey, more oats and less flour

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
