Banana Muffins

What do you do when you have extremely ripe bananas?  Make banana bread of course!  Over time I have accumulated so many random cupcake liners so I decided to use some of them up and make muffins instead of banana bread.  The muffins turned out very moist and were a nice treat in the morning with my coffee.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 overripe bananas
1/2 cup light brown sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.  In a small bowl mash one of the bananas and set aside.  In a large bowl, beat together brown sugar and the second banana.  Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla and mix well.  Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.  Fold in the mashed up banana with a spatula.

Line muffin tin with 12 liners and divide the batter evenly among them.  Bake for 16 minutes or until tops become golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Let muffins cool completely on a wire rack.
