Banana-Nut Muffins- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Beat together the oil and sugar. Add the eggs and bananas; beat well. Sift together the flour, soda, baking powder and salt; add to the banana mixture with the buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in nuts. Bake in greased muffin tins in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes (depending on size muffin tin used).
Baked a batch last night -- the recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks ( a gift from Sharon - we've been friends since first grade and when you are as old as we are - that's quite a few years ago).
I made a few changes in the recipe: didn't have buttermilk so I used some Mandarin Orange Yogurt instead -- also didn't have walnuts so I used pecans (from the trees in my Mom's yard in southern Oklahoma). The muffins are very good and a few will be my breakfast for the next couple of days and the rest will go into the freezer.
