2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 Tbl. poppy seeds
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. mashed ripe bananas (around 2 large)
1 large egg
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. vegetable or canola oil
2 tsp. freshly grated orange zest (about the zest of 1 orange)
1 tsp. vanilla
Orange Glaze
1 c. powdered sugar
2 Tbl. fresh orange juice, plus more, if needed
1 tsp. freshly grated orange zest (about the zest of 1/2 an orange)
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and spray with cooking spray; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, egg, sugar, oil, orange zest and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together until just combined.
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full with batter. Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins. Cool slightly and drizzle with orange glaze.
For the Orange Glaze: Whisk together all ingredients until smooth and creamy. If mixture is too thick, add a little more orange juice. Drizzle over muffins.
