Banana Oat Muffins

Yeah, I know more banana muffins. But it just seems that at this time of year bananas ripen more quickly. Plus, my family loves banana muffins. I wanted to make something a little different though, so I tried a recipe I never made before. I was surprised that the recipe didn't contain a liquid such as milk or water, but with the melted butter, egg, and banana the muffins turned out very moist! They are also quite healthy, but you'd never know it! The recipe is from an old Robin Hood Flour baking booklet from 1994.

Banana Oat Muffins
1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
2 cups mashed banana (5-6 bananas)
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Combine first six dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Mix well. Beat egg, banana and melted butter together until smooth. Add banana mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened. Stir iin nuts, if desired. Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 375◦F (190◦C) for 20-25 inutes, or until top springs back lightly when touched.
