Banana Muffins

Im sorry for the lack of entries recently.. Been quite busy with a few orders here and there.. and work.. and jamming with my band members..

Anway, I tried making banana muffins last weekend.. I don't really enjoy doing muffins cos I always thought that muffins taste dense and filling and boring.. But this muffin that I made really made me change my mind.. Haha.. It's soft, delicious and awesome especially with chocolate chips.. And I don't really like banana stuffs... 

My sis came across a website about muffins.. Well.. it states that you should not overmix the batter.. cos if you do, you will have tunnels and your muffins will be dry.. For more theory on muffins, you may visit this website.. http://www.joyofbaking.com/muffins/muffinrecipes.html

Banana Muffins II (taken from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Banana-Muffins-II/Detail.aspx)
Makes 12 (my notes in red)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted   
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.

2. Combine bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla and melted butter in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Scoop into muffin pans.

3. Bake in preheated oven. Bake mini muffins for 10 to 15 minutes, and large muffins for 25 to 30 minutes. Muffins will spring back when lightly tapped.

You gave me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe~
