No, that’s not what the hubby said yesterday morning even though I did feel like I got hit by the ugly stick. Ever have one of those days? I blame it on having to arrive at work at 645a to prepare for my 7a meeting and 10 hour day. This girl needs her beauty sleep…and a lot of it!
But in reality, the title is actually what the hubby said when I turned some pretty nasty looking bananas into these:
Banana butterscotch muffins
Recently I was reading Becca at I heart eggs and she shared a recipe from her grandmother for banana bread and it was just too good to pass up. Besides, what else do you do with nasty looking bananas?
3 is a normal serving right?
The recipe is really quite simple and I followed in nearly to a T, well, except for I made muffins. And added butterscotch chips 
Bananas do a body good
Becca’s Nanny’s Banana Bread / Muffins (only slightly adapted by Shanna)
- In large bowl, mix 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup shortening (I used Crisco butter sticks)
- Add in 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup cold water
- Mash 3 bananas in small bowl and add to above bowl
- In separate bowl combine the following dry ingredients: 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp cinnamon (cinn is my add-in)
- Slowly mix flour mixture into ‘wet ingredients’
- Mix in 1 cup of butterscotch chips (my add-in)
- Divide batter into 18 muffin lined muffin tins
- Bake at 350deg for 24 min
Plenty to share
What you get is a pretty tasty slightly sweet banana muffin. Quite good I must say. I also have to note that I can resist nearly every single baked item I create, but for some reason, I really wanted to devour these. Dare I say I may have eaten 4 or 5 of them!
