Yea my bananas were rotting so what a girl to do?

Photobucket
Muffins! From Alton Brown's cookbooks =D!


Photobucket
It all began here, you can see why I had to use them so urgently.

Always bring a banana to the party!

Photobucket
A whole freaking stick of butter! Melted over simmering water. Let it cool~

Photobucket
Dry stuff! Flour, baking soda, salt...and I made a mistake here, I put the sugar in there too, but I soon saw that sugar was supposed to be part of the "wet works" ;_;.

Photobucket
Eggs! It was supposed to be two large eggs but my mother bought EXTRA large so I had to weight each egg to get the smallest ones. Alton actually wrote that it's supposed to be 100g of eggs, in any other situation I'll be pretty peeved since the two eggs weighed around 110 so basically, they were like large eggs. ~rip-off~

Sorry, rambling, but of course, bananas are much more interesting.

Photobucket
Tah~

Photobucket
Mix the eggs with the butter.

Photobucket
Mash the bananas. Preferably with a potato masher but I didn't have one, a fork suffices.

Bring the banana! Why? Good source of potassium!

Photobucket
Mixed it with the sugar, well most of the sugar, and a bit of flour...I tried to scoop it out the best I could!

Photobucket
Time for some mixin'!

Photobucket
I really like close-ups. The final batter.

Photobucket
In the tins...

Lets review our assets, I have a banana...

Photobucket
Ta-dah!!!!!!

Photobucket
Mmmmmm. Bluffin' with my banana muffin...

It was really moist, and soft, and, delicious! I like bananas, bananas are good =D!

They look great, but your step-by-step recollection of the recipe is exactly why I could never use Alton recipes. I'm not measuring my eggs, at least not for muffins.

but still though, they look tasty.

Thanks!

Heh, I didn't have to measure them but my eggs were extra-large when the recipe called for large so I was trying to find the smallest ones =/.

Those muffins look delicious. Any recipe framed around Doctor Who quotes also gets bonus points!
