BANANA GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Spray the indentations of a muffin pan and the rims around them with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon) until uniform; set aside.
• In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar using a wooden spoon until smooth (about 2 minuets).
• Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing each well.
• Mash the peeled bananas into the butter mixture using a potato masher.
• Stir in the milk, ginger, vanilla, and vinegar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Add in the flour mixture; stir until just moistened.
• Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.
• Bake in a 400° oven for 18 minutes or until pale brown with rounded nubbly tops; a pick should come out with a few moist crumbs.

SPICED BANANA GINGERBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
• 2. Combine banana, eggs, vanilla, oil, molasses, milk, and brown sugar in a bowl. Make sure you measure the oil before the molasses, it will make it much easier to get the molasses out of the cup. I use a stick blender to combine them as it makes sure you don't have any big pieces of banana left but you can premash the banana and then just use a spoon if you prefer.
• 3. In a medium bowl combine flours, spices, salt, baking powder, and baking soda (I like to use a fork or a whisk).
• 4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overbeat.
• 5. Fill each muffin cup halfway, Bake for 10 minutes at 400F Lower oven temp to 375F for 7-9 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean or the internal temp reaches between 190 - 200F on a digital read thermometer. Let cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Put the oven back up to 400F as soon as you take the first batch out. If you end up with a batch that doesn't completely fill your muffin tin toward the end, fill any empty cups halfway with water so that the tray heats evenly.
• The muffins keep in a ziplock on the counter for up to one week.

DIANNE'S GINGERBREAD BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or coat with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt and cloves. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas and combine with the melted butter, sugar and molasses; beat in the egg.
• Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir gently, just until it is incorporated. Do not over-stir; batter will be lumpy. Fill prepared muffins cups 2/3 full with batter. Sprinkle evenly with the coarse-grain sugar, if desired (optional).
• Bake 20 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly touched.
• Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
