Muffins, an adventure

Some weeks my kids eat bananas like they are the only food in the house and other weeks they don't touch them. They must currently be on a banana strike. Saturday I had 8 bananas that were past their prime. I was feeling a bit adventurous and decided to create my own muffin recipe.
Tyson ate 4 muffins before I cut him off.
I guess I can call my new muffin recipe a success!

I did a little research as I went...
Baking soda, baking powder or some of both?
Butter or Oil?
Do I add yogurt?
Will flax seed and bran make my kids turn up their noses?
I will share what I found out in a later post.

The blue 3x5 is my recipe :)

More exact...

8 Over-ripe Bananas
1 2/3 Cups Sugar or less, I might use 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 next time, or substitute some Maple Syrup for some of the sugar
2 Eggs

*Blend together in blender, pour into large mixing bowl.

1 Cup Maple Flavored Yogurt
1 tsp Vanilla
1/3 rounded Cup Ground Golden Flax
1/3 rounded Cup Wheat Bran

* Mix into banana mixture, let sit 20-30 minutes to soften the bran.

3 Cups Fresh Whole Wheat Flour, you might need slightly more or less depending on the size of your bananas
1 T Aluminum Free Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
1+ tsp Cinnamon

*Mix together, stir into banana mixture, don't over stir. A few lumps are OK. Fill muffin tins approximately 2/3 full, maybe slightly more.

Topping:
1/2 Cup Softened Butter
1/2 to 2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup Flour

*Cut together to create crumbs. Sprinkle on top of muffins. Bake regular muffins at 350* for 20 - 23 minutes. Bake mini muffins at 350* for 12- 15 minutes.
Yield: 36 regular muffins and 24 mini muffins.
