While the brownies are warm, cut into squares. Cool before removing from pan.

Note:  I purchase Carob Powder from the following site:  http://www.nutsonline.com

I also have purchased the sweetened carob chips and other organic products. They have great products and their shipping is fast!

Banana Muffins

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 cup canola oil

4 ripe bananas

3 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

3 tsp baking powder

Dash salt

3 cups flour

2 teaspoons pure vanilla

1 cup carob chips or 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

 

Line muffin tin(s) with paper liners (24 standard or 12 extra-large)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

With an electric mixer, beat the oil, sugar, banana, eggs and vanilla at medium speed for about 3-4 minutes. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in another bowl and stir to combine. Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients; beat until combined. (Optional – Stir in walnuts or carob chips if desired).

 

Fill the muffin tins about ¾ full with the batter. Bake at 325 F oven 25-30 minutes or until done.

Makes 24 standard or 12 large muffins

Note: I have added carob powder to the flour mixture for a different taste. Add about 2-3 tablespoons on carob powder into the flour mixture.

These muffins can also be frozen – just remove from the freezer, and wrap in a paper towel and microwave on high for about 20 seconds
