Banana Bread Muffin Cakes – Recipe
I have been making Banana Bread in the past, but this time I wanted to make it into muffin cakes, so they are not as large as muffins, and no icing on top as for cupcakes…:-) They turned out wonderfully!
I used most of the ingredients I found online, but cut down on the sugar and added a little extract to slightly improve the flavor. Perfect snack to go with your morning coffee, or with a glass of milk for the kiddies.
This recipe yields 18 cupcake size muffins.

- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all purpose flour

Instructions
- Mix the lemon juice with the milk and set aside (or use 1/4 cup of buttermilk instead, if you have it)
- In a medium bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl beat the egg yolks, butter, sugar and salt, until creamy and lemon color.
- Mix in the mashed bananas and the vanilla extract.
- In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture until incorporated. Do not over mix.
