cooked muffins on tray I always found banana muffins to be rather bland. I like them to be spiced up and moist, so I put crushed pineapple in them. They come out amazing, and everyone loves my banana muffins. They have become my signature muffin!

This recipe makes 24 large muffins.

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
4-5 large over ripe bananas, mashed
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drained and squeezed dry
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts (opt)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and if not using liner wrappers, lightly spray and flour muffin pan. I use muffin wrappers.

In a large bowl combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

On a plate, mash bananas with a fork. Leave them a bit chunky so they have bits of banana in them.

In a large mixing bowl, melt the sticks of butter in the microwave. Add brown sugar, vanilla and using the hand mixer, beat on medium, mix for 2 minutes until mixed well.

mixing wet ingredients with electric mixer

Add eggs, add bananas and pineapple. Mix.

A little at a time start adding the flour mix, mixing on low. Then stop mixer and continue to mix with a wooden spoon.

Fill muffin tins with wrappers. Then spoon each one with batter 3/4 full.
Put in oven for 18-20. Test until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool. These can be put in a zip lock freezer bag, or frozen individually for lunches or breakfast snacks on the go!
