Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
2 cups unbleached white flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium-sized bananas)
1/2 cup maple syrup or barley malt
6 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. lemon extract
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, or cranberries


Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Heat the oven to 375º F. Grab a large bowl and throw in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then toss the remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the berries, into a medium-sized bowl and mix. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir until just combined but not too long or the muffins might end up being tough. Add the berries, stirring to distribute them thoroughly in the batter. Spoon into a greased muffin pan until two-thirds full and bake for about 20 minutes or until the muffins have risen and are firm and slightly golden on top.

I made these for a friend who reacently became vegan as a kind of "Welcome Aboard" present. They came out amazing! I used frozen blueberries, but because of the banana I think thay would taste real good with walnuts instead of fruit, too. Also, for referance, it took me two large bananas and one smaller one. All and all, great recipe. I'll be trying it again soon.

does the banana have to be over-ripe? cos the bananas i've got arent.. but i want to make these NOWWWW :)
