Banana Muffins

I expected these to taste like banana bread in muffin shape but they are much less dense. The same rule applies for bread though about ripeness. The riper the better, preferably a little overripe.

Ingredients

• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla
• ½ cup sugar
• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp  cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°
2. In a small bowl, mash the bananas until they are very smooth
3. Whisk in the egg and sugar
4. Add the vanilla, milk, and oil to the wet mixture and whisk well to make sure the sugar is dissolved
5. Put the remaining dry ingredients together in a larger bowl and whisk them together
6. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet stuff
7. Mix the batter gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened
8. Grease a muffin tin and divide the batter between the muffin cups
9. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes
