The Perfect Breakfast - Banana Muffin Recipe

I love muffins. They are delicious, easy to make, and complement my morning tea perfectly. My favorite bakery makes an amazing egg nog muffin that, despite it being February, is still offered. But, I wanted to create a lower calorie and less expensive muffin treat. So...banana muffins it is!

This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. The muffins make a great mid-morning snack at work or dessert at the end of the day (pair it with hot chocolate. I promise, you'll love it!)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 large bananas, mashed
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
2. Combine bananas, sugar, egg, and melted butter in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Scoop into muffin pans.
3. Bake in preheated oven. Bake mini muffins for 10 to 15 minutes, and large muffins for 25 to 30 minutes. Muffins will spring back when lightly tapped.
