Ingredients




2 larges bananas, mashed
1/2 cup + 6 tablespoons white sugar
1 slightly beaten egg
 cup melted margarine or butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour (I use 1 cup whole wheat and ½ a cup of all purpose fl
1/4 cup chopped almonds

Preparation

1 Lightly beat the margarine and sugar. Add beaten egg, vanilla essence and mashed bananas. Mix well and set aside. 2 In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, salt and flour. 3 Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the liquid mixture. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together; be careful not to over-stir! 4 Throw in the chopped almonds and mix. Mixture would be lumpy. 5 Pour into greased or lined muffin tins and bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or the muffin springs back when you touch it.
