Delicious muffins! Buttermilk keeps them moist. Pecans are a great addition too. I made 12 regular sized muffins and 12 mini ones. I baked the larger ones as instructed at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, and their sides were dark brown. I baked the mini ones at 375 for 20 minutes or so, and their sides were pale golden brown. I wanted to compare temperature and times, but after I ate a muffin from one batch and then one from the other, I couldn't decide. So I had to taste-test again...and the next morning yet again; you get the picture. Great muffin, either way you bake it! Thanks, Sharlene~W!

Very good!!. Nice banana flavor. I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup and made 6 giant muffins. Next time I will use about 2/3 cup brown sugar instead of white, I like the flavor brown sugar gives to muffins. They would be good with raisins as well. I baked for 25 min and they were perfect. Thanks for posting a tasty recipe.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
