Muffins







Easy Banana Muffins (makes 12 muffins) 
These muffins are the easiest, yummy, great, and fool proof



3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)
1 cup white sugar (you can use less, you can take it down to 1/2 cup if you like it less sweet)
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 cup melted margarine or butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour

Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 degrees F oven for approximately 20 minutes.



 Now this recipe is very good, but I make 12 muffins out of it, it says six but they must be very big.  I also use the apple sauce version I find it has a much better moisture and flavor.
