Those tiny brown spots on ripe bananas are called sugar spots; fruits that have them make the sweetest muffins. Vegetable oil makes these muffins tender and keeps them from becoming dry.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add banana and milk; beat well.
Step 3
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add to sugar mixture; beat just until moist.
Step 4

Was good for the most part the bottom was over cooked...but that was my fault.

No banana taste, even though I added extra banana. Maybe these need vanilla extract or some lemon zest. Agree there are awesome banana bread recipes that blow this away but I like muffins as portion control for my kids.

These muffins were really delicious. For my daughter's 6th birthday celebration at school, she insisted on bringing in a healthy snack (that's my girl!). We made these together, and they turned out really tasty. I did substitute apple sauce for the oil to reduce the fat, which I usually do in baking recipes that call for oil, and no one ever knows the difference.
