Laura Theodore, aka The Jazzy Vegetarian shows us how to make her Incredible Banana Muffins. The great thing about this video is that it shows how effortlessly easy it is to whip up failsafe muffins. Oh and did I mention it also features jazzy musical snippets accompanied by dancing bananas? I'd give anything to have this happen randomly when I was baking. One can only wish. The recipe is after the break.

Incredible Banana Muffins

Makes 6 Giant muffins,  12 Medium,  or 24 mini-muffins

1 cup organic whole-wheat flour
1 cup organic pastry flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 cup brown sugar (for a sweet muffin, use 1/2 cup or more)
1/2 cup wheat germ
2-3 ripe bananas, mashed (potato masher works well)
11/4 cup soy milk (or any vegan milk)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (olive oil works well)
1/2 cup walnuts, rough chopped

Pre-heat oven to 400º. Oil 6-cup muffin tin. Whisk together all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients, and stir until incorporated. Mixture will be quite thick. Do not over mix. Mound the batter into the 6 muffin cups so it stands about an inch or so above each hole in the tin. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 40-45 minutes, checking every 15 minutes. If muffins are browning too fast, lower temperature to 375º. Remove muffins and let cool 10-15 minutes before carefully removing and placing on serving platter.
These giant muffins are delicious!
