Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2 or 3 very ripe bananas -They must be very mushy, or they won't add the right sweetness/moisture content -I will sometimes put mushy bananas in the freezer until I'm ready to make muffins, then I put them in my mixing bowl to thaw Put the bananas in a mixing bowl and mash then with a fork or potato masher, then add: 3 Tsb. melted butter -I usually put the butter in a glass jar and place it in a put of boiling water. -You can probably microwave the butter, but I think it changes the molecular structure slightly. 1 egg 1/2 tsp of very good vanilla (I like Charles H. Baldwin & Sons from the Berkshires) 1/4 cup white sugar -You can adjust this depending on how many bananas you have or how sweet they are -Don't reduce the sugar too much or they will be dry 1/2 tsp. coarse kosher salt Mix everything together. Then add: 3/4 cup flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda Mix everything together and place the batter in a gallon size ziploc bag. Snip off one bottom corner and use it as a piping bag to pipe the batter into a 24 count mini muffin tin that has been sprayed with Bakers Joy baking spray (you can also use mini muffin liners.) Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for 11 -13 minutes. Cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before removing. These freeze really well. Just microwave them for about 30 seconds. |

PP again. My daughter loves to help me make these (she's 3 now, but we've been using this recipe for a couple of years).
We also add three blueberries per muffin if we have some on hand. |

My family loves these, including my 3 and 5 year olds when they were younger.

I make these regularly. If I don’t have blueberries I switch out for a few mashed bananas. I halve the sugar. Substituting applesauce for the oil is also a possibility.
