banana nut muffins

"Fish, want some bacon and eggs?"
"Scrambled eggs, and bacon, and PANCAKES, mom. Pancakes!"
"Fish, banana pancakes!"
"Yeah!"
"Wait! Banana muffins!"
"Oh yeah!"

And the eggs never happened, but I really want some, and haven't had any of the muffins yet. look at it! so moist and inviting! I need to bake some bacon (the proper way to prepare bacon, bet that) and scramble some cheesy eggs, I am starving. And I'm trying to low-carb it, due to all the potato and flour I've been eating lately. So no muffins for Heather this afternoon. You should have some, though. They're easy and quick, and make your house smell like happiness.

I mix a cup and a half of flour with a half teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon each of baking soda and powder, and a little less than a cup of sugar. Use half white, half brown sugar, or do what I do and add some molasses into the batter. Mix an egg with some mashed banana and mix into the dry bowl. I freeze my nanners when they go all brown and splotchy, just like I freeze my bread heels for crumbs and veg peels and meat bones for broth (in a container that says "turn me into soup"). Peel your bananas before freezing them. You're welcome. Then nuke for half a minute and mash with a fork. I used three bananas for this.

I also threw in a cup or so of chopped pecans, because I had them on hand and it makes the smell all the more insanity-inducing. I bought them whole, then ground them up in my coffee grinder. I want a food processor, my blender isn't the same. Can't wait! Spice up the batter with some cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg before spooning into a muffin tin and baking at 350F for under a half hour for regular sized muffins, 10-15 for mini muffins. Grease the shit out of your pan, though, or use muffin liners. mine stick like mad to the container, even if i spray the pan. I dunno.

"Mom, these don't taste good, they taste AMAZING." Have some with some coffee or milk, whatever you do. Eat one before they're gone. I want bacon. Bacon and cheesy eggs. Oh man, muffins. Yum city.
