Description
These little gems are a big hit in my house. I topped the ones pictured with pink sugar for a party, but that is optional. I do recommend it because it gives them a little sweet crisp on top. You can use any color or just plain white suger.
Ingredients

Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg

- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand held mixer, mash bananas
- Add white and brown sugar and mix
- Add eggs and mix
- Then add the melted butter and vanilla extract and mix well
- I always use real butter so i would not recommend using margarine as this will change the taste and texture and overall quality of the muffins
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a scoop or cup mixing between each addition
- Mix on low until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides if needed
- Do not overmix as this will result in tough muffins
- Mix just until all the flour mixture is incorporated with the wet ingredients
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Line a muffin pan with papers and spray each paper with a little cooking spray
- Fill each paper about 2 / 3 full
- Sprinkle each muffin with colored or white sugar and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out almost clean when inserted
- Let cool on cooling rack and store covered
