2 Ingredient Banana Bread Muffins

The Six Sisters have done it again!  I couldn't believe how easy these muffins were and I almost wanted to cry when they came out so perfect, because what kind of recipe only has two ingredients and turns out amazing?! I really wasn't expecting these muffins to turn out as good as they did.  I just had to adjust the baking time from the original recipe and bam they were amazing!  Yes, "were" because we ate them up so fast.

A couple of fun facts about me:  I hate bananas.  I hate smoothies with bananas in them, juices, yogurt, you name it.  But I'm obsessed with banana bread.  Oh I could eat up a whole loaf of banana bread like nobody's business.  Also, every time I spell banana I have to stop and sing Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl song to myself just to make sure I'm spelling it right.  I know I'm not the only one out there that does this.


What you need:

4 very ripe bananas
1 box of yellow cake mix


- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
- Spray with non cooking spray or line with muffin liners a standard muffin tin 
- In a large bowl, mash bananas up really well then add the cake mix.  Stir for a couple of minutes until mixture turns into sticky dough.
- Fill tins and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Makes 9-12 standard muffins.
You can always add any mix in to the dough before cooking: chocolate chips, nutmeg, blueberries, nuts, cinnamon etc..



A couple of tips:
- When bananas start to go bad on your counter, don't throw them away, freeze them.  They will turn brownish/black in the freezer and that's perfect.  When you're ready to use them, just let them unthaw a little and it's the best way to make banana bread/muffins.  They mash up so well!
- When muffins are starting to look done, take a knife and put it through the middle of a muffin.  If it comes out clean then they're done.  If it comes out sticky and doughy then they need more time.
