Brown Sugar and Banana Muffins




I found another great new food blog called For the Love of Cooking. This is the first recipe I have tried and and it turned out great!!! I didn't use the nuts because my kids don't like them but next time I might do 1/2 with the nuts for Dennis and I.



Brown Sugar and Banana Muffins with Pecans: Adapted recipe by For the Love of Cooking.net (see my sidebar) Original recipe from Southern Living ~ April 2006




• 1/2 cup of butter, softened • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar • 2 large eggs • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 large) • 1 tsp cinnamon • 1/4 cup buttermilk • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1 1/4 cups of flour • 1 cup of whole wheat flour • 3/4 tsp baking soda • 1/2 tsp baking powder • 1/2 tsp salt • 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat a muffin tray with cooking spray. Beat the butter at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Slowly add the brown sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each one. In a separate bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, cinnamon, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in another bowl; add to the butter mixture alternately with the banana mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until blended after each addition. Do not over-beat. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tray, filling two thirds full. Sprinkle the pecans over each muffin evenly.
