Banana Bread

I had some bananas that were turning very brown so I decided to look for a banana bread recipe. I haven't made banana bread in a while so I didn't try anything fancy. I did half the batch because I only had two bananas left. I used a muffin pan instead of a bread pan.

I want to get a chocolate ganache frosting to put on top of them but I need to pick up some heavy cream. The next time I do this I want to try it with pineapple and chocolate chip.

Banana Bread Muffins

Ingredients:
3 to 4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted salted butter
3/4 to 1 cup light brown sugar (depending on the level of sweetness you prefer, I always use the smaller amount)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1 1/2 cup of flour

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, vanilla and bourbon, then the spices.


3. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.
4. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a muffin pan with liners.

5. Bake for about 25 minutes.
