Don’t throw away your over-ripe bananas. They are perfect for making moist and delicious muffins. They are easy to make, and you do not need expensive equipment.

Ingredients:

• One cup mashed over-ripe bananas
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• One teaspoon vanilla extract
• Two eggs
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup molasses
• One tablespoons nutmeg

Instructions:

• Heat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Then grease the bottoms of 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. You could also use paper muffin cups as I did.
• In a large bowl, use an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat bananas, brown sugar, molasses, oil, and eggs. You can also mix with a wooden spoon. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until flour just moistened. At this point, you may fold in any nuts or fruits you wish to add.
• Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. And sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar. Bake muffins for 13 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from pan immediately.
