Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins

Whenever I see older bananas on sale in the store I buy 3 to make my banana bread. It is easy to make and makes a delicious snack.

Sometimes, when I don’t want to wait the hour for the banana bread to bake, I make muffins instead as they only take 20-25 minutes.

If no food processor is available, mix sugar, margarine and eggS until fluffy. Then add baking soda, flour and salt and mix. Crush the bananas and add last.

½-¾ cup white sugar

3 Tbsp butter or margarine

2 eggs

  • Place ingredients in food processor and mix
3 ripe bananas
  • Break into pieces and add to running food processor and mix well

1 tsp baking soda

½ tps salt

1½ cups flour

I tasted this dessert in Switzerland (Oct 06) when my aunt (Erna Furter) made it, because she said that after Raclette with all that cheese the fruity cream was a refreshing dessert.

I copied the recipe from her old cool looking cookbook and translated it into English. I guess after living for over 80 years you accumulate quite a few recipes.

2 tbsp cornstarch

  • Mix cornstarch into apple juice and
  • bring to a boil

2 eggs

  • mix
  • return to heat and
