Banana Muffins

I made banana muffins today.  Comfort food after the miserable game yesterday.  Stupid Bears.

Yes, the backsplash is still yellow.  I'm patiently impatiently waiting for someone to install the subway tile.  

The stars of the recipe:

½ cup vanilla yogurt
½ cup applesauce
1 cup sugar

1 cup mashed bananas (about 2)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt



Mix together dry ingredients in separate bowl, including flour, baking soda, and salt.  You can also add cinnamon if desired.

Mix yogurt, applesauce, and sugar.  Once combined, add mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla.  Mix well.  Slowly add in dry ingredients.  Once mixed, you could add in extras at this point if you choose, like chocolate chips or nuts. 

I usually make 6 large muffins and one small loaf pan, but you could certainly make regular sized muffins or a loaf of banana bread.

At a 350° oven, bake 40-45 minutes. 

I usually like them plain, but today called for extra sugar...it is a Monday after all.  Just mix together some powdered sugar, skim milk, and a dash of vanilla.  Mix and pour over muffins.
