From The Silver Palate Cookbook , these are my favorite banana muffins. Rich with flavor, I've never had them not turn out delicious. You can substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour for 1 cup of unbleached, all-purpose flour, if you want a healthier tasting muffin. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 large ripe bananas, mashed |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture.
4. Fold in mashed bananas, vanilla, and walnuts.
5. Spoon mixture into lightly-greased muffin pan, and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Because of the banana, a wooden pick may not come out completely clean if inserted to check if done.
