  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line 6 cups of a muffin pan.
  2. Mash one banana with a fork, leaving a few small lumps, and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the second banana with the sugar for 35 to 40 seconds, until smooth and pale.
  3. Beat in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
  4. Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt just until the flour disappears. Fold in the mashed banana, keeping the little pieces.
