banana muffins
categories:  Muffins   

Prepared: 2006-09-12

We got this recipe from our friend Marianne and it's a go-to recipe for quick easy muffins for the kids' school lunches.

Makes 1 dozen muffins.  (Pictures show us making a double batch... cause why would you ever just make a single batch!?  And by making the muffins a bit smaller, I usually manage to fill a tray of mini muffins also)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas*
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup currants (optional, can add more or less as desired)**

Preparation:

• mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
• spoon mixture into greased muffin pan.
• bake @ 350 F for 20 - 25 minutes

notes:

• *About 3 bananas... I often freeze bananas that are getting overripe and then I thaw them in the microwave to use up in this recipe.
• **I've made this recipe without any flavourings, with butterscotch chips or with frozen red currants.  Would probably also work well with blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
  
  
• Other tips: Can also be made into mini muffins or loaves (adjust baking times accordingly).
