If You Have Ripe Bananas, Make Banana Muffins

Recently the bananas we have been buying from the local grocery store have not lasted as long as we would like. We buy bananas one day and turn around to fine them too ripe to eat the next day. So the solution I've found it to make Banana Muffins!! Problem with these, though, they don't even last a long as the bananas because we gobble them up right away!!

Here's a tried and true recipe from Better Homes::
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
3/4 cup mashed banana (or about 2 medium bananas)
1/2 chopped nuts (optional)
handful of chocolate chips (optional)

1:: Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
2:: In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk, and oil.
3:: Add egg.milk.oil mixture to the bowl with flour and other ingredients.
4:: Add mashed bananas to the mix!!

5:: If desired you can make muffins with both chocolate chips and nuts,
or make them half and half like I did. If so, split the muffin mix into two bowls and add chocolate chips to one bowl and nuts to the other bowl.

6:: Spoon muffin mix into a greased 12 muffin cup pan.
7:: Bake for 18-20 mins at 400*
8:: ENJOY!!!
