I’ve got a super moist muffin that’s a big hit at our house—tender inside and lightly crisp outside. I use mini muffin tins to make them fun size.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas and vanilla.

    Freeze option:
    Freeze cooled muffins in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high for 20-30 seconds or until heated through.
