Banana Muffins

I started making these muffins a few years back and everyone seems to love them.  I find that a lot of the store bought muffins that I have tried have either a heavily artificial banana flavor or they don't taste like bananas at all.  This recipe gives you a moist muffin with just the right amount of banana flavor. I think they are delectable, but that is my humble opinion. Give them a try and let me know what you think. 

Ingredients: 

• 1  1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3 bananas, mashed

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3/4 cup white sugar

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 1/3 canola oil

Instructions: 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line your muffin tins with paper liners.  While your oven is preheating, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla and oil. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Don't overwork the batter. Spoon the batter into your muffin tin. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. Make sure not to leave them in too long because this can dry them out.
