After school banana muffins

Banana Muffins

I found this recipe on http://www.toolsforschools.ca/blog and I'm excited to try it out!

Makes 12 standard muffins
3 ripe bananas
2 eggs
2 cups of flour
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease muffin tin. Mash bananas until they are smooth or semi smooth. Add eggs and beat together. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and stir into batter until just mixed. If the batter is too stiff, simply add a small amount of water to thin.

Spoon into muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes. Bake to a golden brown colour and until a knife or skewer can be inserted in the center and comes out clean. Really, that’s it.
