These muffins are easy to make and everyone loves them!
INGREDIENTS
3 bananas (very ripe)
1⁄4 cup oil (or softened vegan margarine) 1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts Optional: 2 tbsp. sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by either lining tin cups with paper baking cups or lightly coating cups with nonstick spray (coconut oil spray is a good choice when making muffins).
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until soft. Add the oil or vegan margarine and sugar and then cream ingredients together.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda until well mixed. Combine this flour mixture with the banana mixture, stirring gently just to combine. Don’t over mix.
4. If using the optional walnuts, now is the time to gently fold them in. Alternatively, sprinkle on top of each individual muffin before baking.
5. Next, carefully spoon the batter into your lightly greased or lined muffin tin, filling each well about 2⁄3 full. If desired, sprinkle the optional sugar on top just before baking.
6. Bake the muffins in the heated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Eat while still warm or cool completely for longer storage.
