I love banana bread these are just individual freezer servings of banana bread. Pop one in the microwave with a damp towel or cup of water and they come out as though fresh from the oven. You really need the dampness in the microwave to may pastries and other ‘bready’ items come out steamy and moist rather than dry and crusty. Makes a world of difference.

Start with the usual baking basics – flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, eggs, vanilla. And of course bananas and nuts. Preheat oven to 375.

And two of the bananas in the big bowl. Begin mashing the bananas with the sugar.

The first two bananas you really want to get all smooshed up. Basically a banana and sugar puree.

Meanwhile take 1 1/2 sticks of butter (3/4 cup) in a microwave safe container and melt – or over the stove. Let cool.

Work in the other two bananas, leaving then slightly chunky

Place a fine mesh strainer over the bowl, to that add 2 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sift into the wet mix.

Stir everything together just to combine.

Chop 1/2 cup walnuts, or other nuts. Stir into the batter.

Butter and flour muffin cups then fill cups 3/4 full.

Bake in preheated 375 oven about 20 minutes or until a toothpick, or knife comes out clean when inserted into the center.

Cool completely on a wire rack. Then wrap individually in plastic wrap.

Label and into the freezer for breakfasts or treats all month long. I got 18 muffins from this batch.

I have always cooked, I was that person who could make a meal from an empty fridge. I have lived alone and with large and small families, I have cooked for camps on wood stoves, and in professional kitchens. I have lived and worked all over the west from Montana, to Seattle to Arizona to San Diego. I have traveled, maybe not 'all over the world', yet, and have collected tastes recipes and techniques everywhere, and every one I meet.
