Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350* F.

2. 2

   Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy.

3. 3

   Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.

4. 4

   Add the bananas--it's easier if you break them up into pieces.

5. 5

   In a seperate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.

6. 6

   Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture ( it should a bit dry).

7. 7

   Add the buttermilk/yogurt/sour cream and vanilla.

8. 8

   Stir until fully mixed.

9. 9

   Pour into lined or greased muffin tins; if you use a full half cup of batter per muffin, you should get about 12 muffins.

    Bake for approximately 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
