We’ve been making cupcakes, cupcakes and more cupcakes lately, so I thought we could try something for breakfast last week. I found a recipe on www.bigoven.com and made a few changes to it. Our little Princess decided that we needed to make muffins instead of loaves, so that’s just what we did! Here’s a list of all the ingredients:
3 cups Sugar
4 Eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste (or Real Vanilla Extract)
2 cups Mashed Bananas
2/3 cup Water
1 cup Vegetable Oil
3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Chopped Pecans (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, in a mixer, combine sugar and eggs. Whip until light and fluffy.
Guess what they’re looking at?!
Add Baking Soda, Salt, Baking Powder, Cinnamon, Vanilla Bean Paste, Bananas, water and oil mixing after each addition. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until mixed well. This is what you will have…
Add pecans if you want to add them…
Spray 2 loaf pans with baking spray or 3 dozen muffin pans, like we did.
If making loaves, bake for 1 hour. If making muffins, bake for 20-25 minutes. I wish you could smell these as they came out of the oven!
If you’re like me, you couldn’t wait till they cooled off to try one!
These are the lightest and best tasting banana muffins I’ve ever had! And yes, I’m used to those boxed mixes, so homemade muffins have so much more flavor and are so moist! If you love banana bread…you MUST try these! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
