My Momma's Muffins

There will always be certain tastes, smells, and sounds that remind me of my younger years. After my fathers death, it is extremely surprising, yet amazing that my mother still would cook incredible meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. A vivid memory that I have is my Mom waking me up before church on Sunday mornings and asking me what I wanted for breakfast. It would always be the same. As I would sleepily roll out of bed, a warm, yummy aroma would always hit my nose.

Here is a recipe I love and that reminds me of my childhood. My mother's Banana Bread Muffins recipe. :)

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Sometimes my mother would put honey in the middle of the batter in the muffin container to make the muffins extra sweet. If desired, add about a dime size. :)  

• Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place muffin cups in muffin tin, or grease with a little butter.
2. Mix sugar, oil, and egg until creamy and light yellow. Add bananas and walnuts. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until completely smooth. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin.
3. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until toothpick poked in center muffin comes out clean.

Let cool and "nom it up"
