Banana Nut Muffins

Michael had some old bananas laying around and didn't want to throw them out so we decided to bake something out of them. Since we only had two mushy bananas we had to search for a recipe that specifically only used two. We came across this banana nut muffin recipe and decided to give it a try. The muffins turned out pretty well, but next time we would use more banana (to give it a stronger flavor) and we might possibly toss in some chocolate chips (just because we LOVE chocolate in everything sweet).


Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup mashed, very ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup to 1 cup chopped walnuts (we used 1 cup)


Cream the butter and gradually add sugar. Mix well.


Add eggs


Add the mashed up bananas and mix well...



Next, mix together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
In a third bowl, mix together the milk and lemon juice and let sit for about 10 minutes.


Take turns adding a little bit of the dry ingredients and the milk mixture. Blend well after each addition. 




Stir in the walnuts.


The batter should make 12 muffins.


Bake for 15 to 22 minutes (whenever a toothpick comes out clean) at 350 degrees.
