- Peel 8 ripe bananas, wrap in cling film and freeze overnight.
- Allow to soften for 20 minutes then put into a food processor and whiz until thick and creamy. Serve immediately or refreeze.
3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)
1/2 cup white sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup, but I don’t like them too sweet) (I used 3/4 of a cup and it was still a bit sweet)
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 cup melted margarine or butter (I used sunflower oil)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine/butter/oil together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together, being careful not to over-stir! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 F degrees *180 C) oven for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy!
*These are much more flavourful the next day, and they freeze very nicely too!
*Also, if you like walnuts, you can throw a handful of those in there as well for some added flavour and texture, or try adding chocolate chips, or better yet, both.

Bananas...one of my favourite foods. These recipes look good.
Here's one more simple banana recipe, good for hot weather.
Banana Smoothy
Into blender toss 2 small or 1 1/2 large bananas. Frozen bananas would work even better.
Spoon in a very large tablespoon or tw oof unsweetened frozen orange juice concentrate.
Pour in about 3 cups of cold low or non fat soy or cow milk.
Add 3 or 4 ice cubes.
Whiz on high till smooth and creamy. Enjoy...
Note: I've been keeping using tablespoon fulls of unsweetened frozed oj concetrate to add to smoothies and fruit salads.
I'm trying the banana muffin recipe now! Hoping they turn out as scrumptious as they sound!
