Best Banana muffins EVER

This recipe is so easy and so delicious. It's great because you can even make it without the egg.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup melted (!) shortening
1/2 cup of sugar
3-4 bananas.
(optionally: subsitute half a cup of flour with ground hazelnuts)

Mix the melted shortening into the mashed bananas, add the egg and sugar. Mix the rising agents into the flour and mix the dry and wet ingredients.
Pour into muffin forms and bake at 175°C (350 ° Fahrenheit) for 15-20 min.
Voila!
They even taste better the next day.
I added chocolate chips one time and that was scrumptious, but many people don't appreciate the chocolate/banana flavour.

I varied the recipe for lemon muffins, by taking away the bananas, using 3 eggs and one little cup of yoghurt. You will have to add more sugar though, otherwise they will taste very bland!

Enjoy!
