Serves: makes 1 loaf or 24 muffins
 
Ingredients
  • 4 medium size ripe bananas
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups unsifted flour (I use 1 heaping cup of freshly ground spelt flour and one level cup of all purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp grated lemon rind
  • ½ cup shelled walnuts, chopped
Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚. Prepare your muffin pan by placing muffin paper cups in each or greasing the cups, set aside (you can also make this a loaf if you would rather, if that is the case then grease a loaf pan with soft butter).
  2. Mash the bananas until mostly smooth, some lumps are fine, set aside.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until incorporated, then add the lemon juice.
  5. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix until smooth and combined.
  6. Add in the lemon zest and chopped walnuts.
  7. Turn into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, for muffins about 20-25 minutes and for a loaf about 55 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes for muffins and 20 for a loaf, and then carefully remove from the pan and eat!
