Banana Muffins

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Wet Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla.
3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the raisins, if using.
4. Bake: Fill greased muffin tins two-thirds full with batter. Bake in a preheated 350°F (177°C) oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Frost: Let the muffins cool in the tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting, such as the Pink Lady Frosting recipe below.

Pink Lady Frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5-6 tablespoons milk
• Red food colouring

1. Cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the vanilla extract.
3. If needed : Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
4. Add a couple drops of red food coloring and mix until combined.
5. Frost cooled muffins.
