National Banana Bread Day!

Happy National Banana Bread Day! I like to turn my banana bread into muffins - it's easier to feed a crowd that way. It's also National Tennis Day, so grab a banana muffin before you hit the courts!!

Banana Bread Muffins
Once my bananas get over-ripe, I peel them, put them in freezer bags and store them in the freezer until I have enough to make muffins!

Cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large over-ripe bananas
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted  
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan (or 3-4 mini muffin pans) with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well with a fork and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the bananas on medium speed until mushy. Beat in the yogurt, butter, egg, and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just blended (don't over-mix).
Spoon the batter into the muffin pan until each cup is 2/3 full. Bake mini muffins for 10 minutes, or regular muffins for 15 minutes, until a wooden pick comes out with little bits clinging to it.

Cool on wire racks for a few minutes before serving.

Makes 12 regular muffins and 36-48 mini muffins
