I have such fond memories of these muffins from when I was a child. My mom has a recipe book called Muffin Mania (it was published in 1982, which explains the name) dedicated solely to muffins and the page with this recipe on it is stained and weathered and almost illegible. My copy of the recipe is in similar condition. That should tell you just how good these banana muffins are!!
Ingredients:
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 medium ripe bananas
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mash the bananas in a separate basin. Mix in the egg, oil, and vanilla extract thoroughly. Just until the dry ingredients are moistened, stir in the wet components. Half-fill muffin cups that have been oiled or lined with paper liners.
Preheat oven to 375°F and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
