I tried making muffins out of my favorite banana bread recipe, and I am delighted with the results. When the muffins have cooled to room temperature, place them in individual zip-lock plastic bags and put them in the freezer. Whenever you want a fresh, warm, banana muffin, just take a bag out of the freezer and place it, unopened, into a microwave oven for one minute.
Banana muffins are great for breakfast, and they are a marvelous accompaniment for summer salads.
Spray 12 muffin cups with a non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Combine 1 cup of the flour with the butter in a large bowl. Mix until the mixture is completely smooth. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, salt, baking soda, sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and again mix well.
