LIGHT BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• To prepare cupcakes, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and banana; set aside.
• Beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar, butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 3 minutes).
• Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana mixture to sugar mixture, beating well.
• Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
• Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
• Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with yogurt, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix after each addition.
• Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups lined with paper liners.

EGG FREE BANANA MUFFINS (ADAPTABLE FOR VEGAN, GF)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line or lightly grease a standard 12-hole muffin tin.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, milk, cooking oil, vanilla extract and brown sugar. You can mix this by hand, or use a hand mixer on low speed. I usually use a hand mixer since I find that it quickly will mash/puree a ripe banana.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
• Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined. Stir in the vinegar.
• Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups. Top the muffins with the oats and turbinado sugar.
• Bake muffins, rotating pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let muffins cool in pan 5 minutes. Transfer muffins onto a rack and let cool completely.
