The CommonSenseMom's Best Banana Muffin Recipe

The CommonSenseMom's Best Banana Muffin Recipe

2 overripe bananas (the browner, the better)
2 eggs
1/3 c. buttermilk, or substitute
1/4 c. canola oil
1/4 c. olive oil
1 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
1 c. white whole wheat flour
3/4 c. all purpose flour

With mixer, beat bananas until completely mashed. Add eggs, beat. Add buttermilk and oils, mix. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat well. Add dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Fill muffin pans (I use paper liners) about 3/4 full and bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes or until done. Makes about a dozen muffins.

I frequently double this recipe and freeze the leftover muffins to eat at breakfast time when we are in a hurry.

You can also use this recipe for banana bread, but I find that the outside of the loaf gets overdone while waiting for the inside to cook.
