Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup skim milk
4 large bananas, ripe, mashed
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest, strips (to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Line 18 muffin holes with paper liners.
Place sugar and butter in a large bowl; cream with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla; beat until thoroughly mixed.
In another large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add half of flour mixture to butter mixture; beat well with mixer.
Add milk and remaining flour mixture; beat until batter is combined and then fold in mashed bananas.
Spoon batter into muffin liners about 3/4 full.
Bake until muffins start to brown and a tester inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 2 minutes; remove to a wire rack and cool completely before icing.
Meanwhile, combine icing ingredients in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Ice cooled muffins; cover and refrigerate any uneaten muffins.
Yields 1 muffin per serving.
Note:.
If the mouth-puckering lemon icing isn't enough flavor for you, try adding 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to the flour mixture.
