Banana Muffins... that will change your life

Ten or so years ago, I came across a recipe book in my mom's cupboard titled Muffins and More. Some of the recipes are a little odd- but there are definitely delicious things to be found. Here are two recipes for banana muffins- one regular and one bran- that I've made SO many times. They always please. Now that I think of it, I should post the recipe for the pumpkin muffins sometime soon. But that is for another time.

Banana Muffins (regular)
1 3/4 cups - flour
1 tsp - baking soda
1/4 tsp- salt

1/2 cup- butter
1 1/4 cups- white sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup- sour cream
1 cup- mashed bananas (about 3)

How to:
It is pretty easy to whip up. Combine wet ingredients in one bowl, dry in the other. Make a "well" in the dry ingredients and stir in the wet (don't over-stir or you end up with large air pockets in your crumb).

Fill muffin tins about 3/4 full.

Bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes. Will make about 16 muffins.


Banana Bran Muffins
1 cup- flour
1 cup- bran cereal
1 tsp- baking powder
1 tsp- baking soda
1/2 tsp- salt
2 tbsp- cocoa

1/4 cup- butter
1/2 cup- sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup- sour milk (1 tsp vinegar in 1/4 cup milk)
1 cup- mashed bananas (about 3)

How to make:
same story as the muffins above
