Banana Muffin Update- better recipe

Okay, I may be obsessed with banana's. They taste good on their own, in a smoothie, on a cake, in a fruit salad, dried and baked. What more could you want from a fruit AND they are plentiful around here. I never thought I would get over my 'never want to look at a *@$#ing banana phase' after working on the farm. But, I am glad I did. Previously I posted a recipe I use for my banana muffins. However, I have a simpler and in my opinion yummier recipe that I am making today. It requires less ingredients and I use brown sugar. Here is my amended awesome Banana Muffin Recipe (esp. good if you are short on cooking supplies).
  Awesome Easy Banana Muffins 
-from a friend who wishes not to be named- you know who you are :)

  Ingredients
- 3-4 ripened bananas
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tblsp butter
- 1 egg
- 2 cups self raising flour
 - 2 tblsp milk

  Method
 1. Squash bananas, place in bowl
2. Add all other ingredients and mix.
3. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees celsius, prepare trays
4. Bake for 15-17 mins

 Serve
I normally do not put any icing on however, previously I have dusted with icing sugar or sprinkled with brown sugar. My friend uses cream cheese icing with hers (sorry haven't made this before, perhaps google for a recipe). On a side note these also freeze well (in case you need to make hundreds).

 Happy baking! Here are a few clever banana art pictures I have seen on the interwebs previously. So talented!

Pft Summer is here...Banana prices are finally dropping...SMOOTHIE TIME

Okay, short version of the story. Banana crops in Far North QLD were wiped out by Cyclone Yasi which has caused the prices to sky rocket. However, the first crops of the newly planted trees are being put onto supermarket shelves which means price reduction.

So to celebrate my favourite fruit being affordable again and the oppresive heat rolling in as summer kicks in I am making Banana Smoothies in class tomorrow! We are doing a healthy snack unit and this is the example I am showing the children. Plus, I get to finish off my school day with a yummy smoothie. What more could a teacher want. Here is the recipe I use.
