Easy Banana Muffin Recipe for Kids

Few things in the kitchen gross me out as much as overripe bananas.

But, thankfully, they serve a purpose. And they're a blast for little ones to mash.

Even if you can't use them right away, you can freeze them in a Ziploc bag or storage container for later use.

This recipe contains kitchen staples, and it has several jobs for little hands: mashing, measuring, pouring, egg beating, stirring and scooping.

Our family prefers most baked goods without nuts, but you could add them to this recipe.

Hope you enjoy making these with your own kid chefs!

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg (slightly beaten)
• 1/3 cup melted margarine
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cups flour

Directions:

1. Mash bananas.
2. Add sugar and egg.
3. Stir in the melted margarine.
4. Combine dry ingredients separately.
5. Add dry mixture to banana mixture and mix lightly.
6. Spoon into a well-greased muffin pan or paper-lined cups.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 11 to 15 minutes or until done.

Over-baked muffins taste dry. When they start turning a golden-brown color, check them with a toothpick. If the batter looks crumbly, take 'em out.

Let muffins cool a little and enjoy!

Until next time,
