Preheat oven to
350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place the oven rack in the middle of the
oven. Butter or spray
a 12 -
1/2 cup muffin pan.
In a large
bowl combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and white
chocolate. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl combine the mashed bananas, eggs,
melted butter, and vanilla. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, lightly
fold the
wet ingredients (banana mixture) into the dry ingredients until just combined
and batter is thick and chunky. (The important thing is not to over mix the
batter. You do not want it smooth. Over mixing the batter will yield tough,
rubbery muffins.) Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and place
a slice of banana on top of each muffin for garnish. Bake
about 20 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean. Place on
a wire rack to cool for five minutes and then remove muffins from pan. Serve warm or at room
temperature.
Note: To mash bananas I have found the easiest way is to just
use my fingers, a fork or a potato masher.
Makes 12
regular sized muffins.
