Day 5: Banana nut muffins

Today's creation is a tasty treat. I made these muffins and then ate a couple for lunch almost right out of the oven. Delicious!

The recipe for these came from page 636 of Joy of Cooking I just threw in the remainder of some chocolate chips that I had on hand and added a smidgen extra vanilla because I could.

So if you want to make these yourself, preheat your oven to 375 F. In a bowl, mix together:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour or wheat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking sodea
1/4 teaspooon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg

and then stir in:

2/3 cup chopped walnuts

and in another large bowl whisk together:

1 large egg
3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/3 cup ripe bananas (2 or 3)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Add the flour mixture to the liquid ingredients and fold until just moistened. Divide the batter into the muffin cups. and bake for 14-16 minutes.
