Kid-friendly. Moist, easy and a tasty muffin for "on-the-go" people. Basic recipe from Cooking Light-Tara Bennett; I added egg and optional nuts and raisins. Easily doubled.

6 muffins (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup mashed ripe banana (one medium)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 medium egg, beaten

  • 1 (8 1/2 ounce) package yellow cornbread mix (Jiffy)
  • cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/4 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350˚.
  2. 2
    Combine milk, bananas, egg, (and nuts and raisins, if using).
  3. 3
    Mix in a medium bowl; stir just until moistened.
  4. 4
    Spoon mixture into well-oiled muffin cups. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  5. 5
    Cool for 10 minutes before removing from muffin pan.
  6. 6
    Have not tried it, but probably would freeze well.

Instead of a box of cornbread mix, I used the Arrowhead Mills cornbread mix that comes in a bag, and measured out 8.5 ounces on my kitchen scale. This came out too dense for our taste. No one really wants to finish up the leftovers. They are better re-heated with butter on them, says my daughter. Too bad. I made them to use up an old banana I had. I won't be making this recipe again. I liked how it was only 6 muffins (although I got 8 out of the batch) and I liked the low-calories and healthy aspects.

    Just took my lazagna-pan, banana-corn-muffins-cake out of the oven, and it is delicious. Had to use some just about over-ripe banana, also had the raisins and the Jiffy mix, but had no muffin tins. Since I only have liter measuring utensils, I had to use a little more of this, something less of that — didn`t matter. The taste is terrific. This will be my favorite for grand kids that suddenly feel like having a snack (they won`t get potato chips from grandma). Very easy and quick to make.

    Wow! These turned out so good! So very easy to make and very healthy! These kind of recipes I love! The only thing I did not add was raisins and nuts just because we didnt' have any. My kids loved these so much they wanted to make them again tommorow! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
