Momma's making muffins

After my Nana passed away I inherited quite a number of her old cookbooks.  I have enjoyed flipping thru the well loved pages and it was a very nice surprise to see that she has tucked pieces of paper through out most of her cookbooks along with writing many notes along the sidelines.

I found a Lemon poppy seed muffin recipe with a note scratched beside it that read "tasteless" in the sideline so, of course, I had to try it out.

Nana was right.

Those muffins were tasteless.

Horrible, would be a better description but I have since tweaked the recipe so the muffins have a nice light flavor to it.

I stumbled upon another muffin recipe this morning.

Gee..can you possibly guess what we're having for breakfast!!

They are called Best Ever Banana Muffins.

I found a snipped piece of paper taped to the back page of the book so I thought I would try it out.

Ingredients:

(makes 12 muffins)

1 cup plain flour

1/2 cup oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cups raisins

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup oil ( I used applesauce instead)

3 medium sized bananas, mashed

Method:

1. Mix flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and raisins in a bowl.

2. Combine egg,sugar,applesauce and mashed bananas in another bowl.

3. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until just blended.

4. Fill muffin cups/liners till almost full.

Bake in preheated oven at 375f for 20 to 25 mins.

This recipe is adapted from a piece of paper I found taped to my Nana's cookbook

And slight modifications made by me!!

Now I am just waiting for them too cool.

They smell amazing.

I hope they taste as good as they look!!
