Banana Muffins – The Baking Duck

Banana Muffins

More bananas this week and again wanted to try something different. Bananas are a good staple in baking because they are not a liquid and help create a thick batter.

This recipe made 16 muffins but of course depending on how much you put into each chase. I always use an ice cream scoop to add my mixture to the cases because I find it always fills it to a good place.

The mixture for the muffins is lumpy and more like a thick paste than normal muffin mixture. The mixture should look like this and your muffins will turn out beautifully.

I added an extra slice of banana to the top of my muffins, but you can walnuts or chocolate chips if you prefer. These muffins smell great while baking because of the spices in them.

 

These muffins did raise in a funny way but muffins do not have to be pretty to taste great.  These muffins do have a strong cinnamon smell so if your not a cinnamon fan then I recommend leaving that ingredient out.
