The original very good recipe from my mommy:

Banana Bread

-Cream 1/2 cup butter & 1 cup sugar well
-Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time
-Add 3-4 mashed bananas (~2 cups)
-Add 2 cups flour
-Add (I keep typing ass and having to change it) 1 tsp. baking soda
-Ass Add 1/2 tsp. salt
-Chocolate chips optional

-Mix all together slowly.
-Pour into greased bread pan and bake @ 350 for 60 min or until browned and a toothpick comes out clean.
-Cool 5 min. in pan and then on rack. Longer in pan = softer on outside.

This is a great can’t-screw-it-up recipe (right Chelle?). So good I always triple it. But now? I’ve made it healthier and better…

Best Banana Muffins Evah!

(Always always always double or triple the recipe. I’m giving this to you the way I made it - you can cut it down if you don’t have enough rotten fruit in your freezer.)

-Cream 1 1/2 cups butter and 1 cup sugar well. (Cooking with kids? Just plop it in a bowl in the sink and give them a whisk. The learning tower really helps. If you’re alone, a mixer is easier.)
-Add 4 eggs, one at a time
-Add 10-12 large mashed bananas (I freeze them until I have enough for a big recipe. A small recipe lasts about 3.4 minutes in my house and it’s not worth my time and effort.)
-Add 4 cups whole wheat flour
-Add 2 tsp. baking soda
-Add 1 tsp. salt
-Add 1/3 cup ground flax seeds
-Add 1/3 cup hemp seeds (toasted or not - your preference)

Mix all together slowly. Spoon into greased mini muffin tins. This recipe made 3 trays for me - 72 mini muffins.

Bake @ 350 for 15 minutes.

We made these when Primo had a friend over. The kids did everything except crack the eggs and touch the hot oven. I put the mixing bowl inside a larger bowl in the sink to save the spillage and both kids stood together in the learning tower to do it. They had a blast, and the muffins were to die for!

Stirring in the sink…after we’d moved all the ingredients into one large bowl.

Two of the pans in my dirty oven.

Don’t they look yummy?

Such proud boys! (I don’t have permission to put his buddy’s face on here. Though I’m sure it’s fine, I don’t feel like calling for permission right now. Plus, it’s Sunday and he’s mormon so they’re at church for, like 9 hours or something.)
