Default STORIES Sell Recipe Books - My FAVORITE Banana Raisin Muffin Recipe

Thanks Gordon,

Ok.

I'll go First.

Let's Test and find out whether your Forum Readers
Enjoy Recipes or not.

I
ALWAYS
Put a STORY
on top of each
Recipe.

WHY?

To Credential myself and The Recipe.
(Because most recipes Are Pretty Lousy - let's face it.)

----------------------------------------------------------
Banana - Raisin - Nut - Muffins

When I was 9 or 10 my Mother put me to work making dessert every day.
She’d cook dinner. I did dessert. I discovered Muffins quickly. But Fought
Decades Long battles with my 2 brothers. One Hated walnuts. The other
picked out all the raisins! YOU Choose. But this recipe survived a Decade of
intense criticism. So you know it’s Great. Glenn

#1 - Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

#2 - Grease 12 muffin tins

#3 - Chop up and mash one banana - use a fork, potato masher and a large
flat plate or bowl

#4 - Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl

#5 - Then thoroughly mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with dry ingredients

#6 - Pour wet ingredients in with dry and mix with large spoon until
combined Don't beat mixture. Just mix until no dry spots are left.

#7 - Immediately Spoon into greased muffin tins

#8 - Bake in oven for about 25 minutes. Tops of muffins will get brown
when done.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup warm honey
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt

(In a pinch you can mix up 3/4 cup of dry milk with water and squirt in 1
tablespoon of lemon juice -- This reacts with the baking soda and makes
the batter rise)

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

(Tip: Have some extra flour standing by. The size of the banana is a wild
card. A little more flour might be needed to make up for the wet banana.
You don't want a sloppy wet batter. Your goal is to reach a moist mixture
that sticks to your spoon or fork when mixing.)
