1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c mashed bananas (may use as little as 3/4 c)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper cups or grease and flour a large loaf pan. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Add dry ingredients alternately with bananas, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Spoon batter into lined muffin tins or prepared loaf pan. A #20 disher (full) works well. Bake for 25 minutes. If making bread, bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove to rack to finish cooling. This will make about 12 muffins.
