I first posted this on my old website (colorarmy.com) back in 2007, I’ve since added a few things and polished the recipe up a bit. Here is the new and improved recipe complete with updated picture (above). Enjoy!

(not pictured: vanilla & 4th banana)

• 1 Stick Butter
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 4 Crushed Ripe Bananas
• 2 Cups Flour
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1/8 tsp. Salt
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 C. Nuts (optional)

step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine your butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix until creamy. You can use a hand or stand mixer. I’ll be using a stand mixer, her name is Ruby and I love her♥

step 2

Add your eggs, one at a time and mix well.

step 3

Add bananas, flour, baking soda, salt and nuts and mix until well combined.

step 4

Pour your mixture into a greased muffin pan, and bake for approximately 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

**Makes about 15 muffins.
***If you’d like to make banana nut bread just follow the same instructions only bake your loaf for about an hour.
