Recipes for the Cooking Impaired: Banana Oatmeal Muffins

Jun 15, 2010 11:48

I almost called these Invisible Muffins or Evaporating Muffins because they don't stay on the serving plate for any measurable time that I was able to discern. Easy prep, a reasonably long cooking time for a muffin so that there is time to make tea, slice fruit, or simply put your feet up and enjoy the aroma.

Banana Oatmeal Muffins

1/2 Cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/2 Cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 Cup mashed banana
1 Cup (scant measure) brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract plus enough water to make 1/4 Cup liquid
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 Cup oatmeal
1 1/2 Cups flour

Cream together butter and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, bananas, brown sugar and the water/vanilla mixture. Stir until well combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full of mixture and bake in a preheated oven @375 F for approximately 20 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. This recipe yielded 12 muffins for me. Your mileage may vary depending on pan size.

Serve: warm with butter, fruit and tea or coffee.
Serves: ...I'm not sure how many reasonable adults this will serve. The 12 muffins this made barely survived the combined assault of 4 kids (2 teens, 2 pre-teens).
