Got brown bananas?

We had four bananas going brown in our fruit basket. Truth be told, I actually left them there on purpose so I could have an excuse to make some banana muffins with them. I stumbled across the recipe a while ago while looking for some way to use up bananas. It's so good, easy, and uses basic ingredients you probably have on hand. Here it is, courtesy of Cat Can Cook:

Banana Muffins (makes 12 muffins)

3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)

1/2 cup white sugar

1 slightly beaten egg

1/3 cup melted margarine or butter

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups flour

Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 degrees F oven for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy!

So turn your brown bananas into these:
