Banana Nut Muffins

Better Homes and Garden New Cook Book, 1981 Edition (with a little tweaking)

1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4  teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup extra light olive oil
1 cup mashed very ripe banana
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (the kids beg us to leave these out so sometimes we only add these to half the batch)

In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Make a well in the center.  Combine egg, milk, and oil.  Add egg mixture, mashed banana, and walnuts all at once to flour mixture.  Stir just till moistened; batter should be lumpy.  Grease muffin cups or line with paper bake cups; fill (using an ice cream scoop if you've got one) 2/3 full (Mat fills them all the way up).  Bake in a 400 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 18 minutes or until golden.  Remove from pans; serve warm.  Makes 10 to 12 muffins.
