Snack: Easy Banana Muffins! From Boston, with love.

This recipe is adapted from Gourmet Magazine, August 2003. It's originally from Flour Bakery and Cafe, my new favorite baked goods spot in Boston.

Makes 12 Muffins (or one loaf)

Blend together:
1 stick room temperature butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature for 30 minutes (or put in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes).

Then put these ingredients on top of the butter mixture and mix them lightly together first, then blend in with the butter mixture:
1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix these ingredients together in a separate bowl, and then add to the flour mixture. DON'T overmix. It will make the muffins tough:
3 coarsely mashed very ripe bananas
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoons vanilla

Line a muffin pan with paper liners and bake at 350 for around 25 minutes. They will be done when you can press lightly on the top of a muffin and it bounces back. (or when a toothpick comes out clean).
