Oatmeal Banana Honey Muffins

Now, I love to bake.  It's one thing I do to relax.  I think it's the routine I get into when baking that makes me love it so much.  One thing I love to do with week+ old bananas that have definitely seen sunnier days is to make muffins or banana bread out of them.  Here, I'm going to share my favorite Oatmeal Banana Honey Muffin recipe.  It's AMAZING!  The first time I made these I fell in love.  My husband's coworkers have been my guinea pigs over the years and this is one they love when he brings it in.  The muffins are soft, sweet, and yummy.  They don't last long in my house and I bet they won't in yours either!  Pictures will be posted soon!  Here's the recipe:



Oatmeal Banana Honey Muffins

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened (I use Blue Bonnet Light margarine)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
3/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
 

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, bananas and honey; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until cupcakes test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

These are a favorite not only with my husband and I, but the people he works with and I work with.  I make them often and am asked for the recipe often.  This makes 18 muffins, but normally comes out to closer to 24 when I use my ice cream scoop to fill the tins.  Enjoy!
