Weekend recipe - Best Ever Banana Muffins from cooks.com

Looking for a muffin recipe to use up some stored away bananas.  This recipe looked promising, but after trying it, I'm going to try to alter my Blueberry muffin recipe to use bananas instead and see how it turns out.

This one ended up being too sweet, with not enough of a crown on the muffins.  The tops were too flat.  I did not manage to get any pictures.

2 1/4 cups all purpose or white whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 large extra ripe bananas (peeled and mashed)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the eggs, then add the bananas. Stir in the vanilla.

Combine the liquid mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring together only until all ingredients are moistened.

Stir in chopped nuts. Transfer the batter into greased muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a center comes out clean.

Makes 18 muffins.
