With two weeks left before my college graduation, I've started to amp up the baking to take advantage of my apartment's new, renovated kitchen. After graduation, I head home for a few months and then start my teaching fellowship in August where I will be sharing 3 kitchens......with 30-40 other roommates.
ANYWAYS. I made banana muffins. I had a rotten banana and it was kind of disgusting. But oxidation of a banana = perfect for baked goods. These banana muffins were probably one of the best muffins I've made. And I've made a lot.
My roommate ate one and said"Are you kidding me these are really good" She'll probably read this. And if not, then I'll know she isn't reading my blog.

Recipe: Whole Wheat Banana Muffins (as adapted by King Arthur Flour: WHOLE GRAIN BAKIN)
Serves: 12 (I halved the recipe to make 6 due to my lack of super ripe bananas.)
1/2 cup or 1 stick unsalted butter (next time, I think I'll do 6 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp applesauce/coconut milk)
1/2 cup turbinado sugar (i used 1/4 cup instead)
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3-4 mashed bananas (aka 1 1/2 cups)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey
2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (do it)

3-4 mashed bananas (aka 1 1/2 cups)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey
2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (do it)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan or a loaf pan. Let the eggs go to room temperature, it makes baked goods better.
1. Beat together the butter, sugar, baking soda, salt + spices, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.
2. Add the banana, honey and eggs, beating until smooth.
3. Add the flour and nuts, stirring until smooth. I would add the flour kinda slowly.
4. Spoon batter into the loaf or muffin pan and let it rest @ room temp for 10 minutes ( I actually didn't do this part.....)
5. Bake the bread for 50 minutes in a loaf pan or 23-28 minutes in a muffin pan. If you're using a loaf pan, it's best to tent the bread by placing a piece of foil over it 10 minutes before its ready. You don't have to do this though.
6. Bake until a fork inverted into the center comes out clean. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before taking it out of the pan and letting it cool completely.
