If you are more of a Splenda person we have a lower sugar version for you too, just follow the substitution instructions!
As far as picture details go, a few years ago my mother in law gave me these cute heart shaped muffin tins which make anything that goes in a tin that much more festive! However, if you don't have those you can actually use marbles in regular muffin tins and shape it into a heart! Just give that a google for instructions! But what I love even more than this muffin recipe is that Mickey Mouse cake stand, seriously all the heart eyes for that little guy! My best friend just sent that to me for my birthday and I cannot get enough of it, beyond me already making it part of my kitchen decor I may just display everything from microwavable meals (grad school wife life) to fancy cakes on it!
1/2 C Butter (1 Cube)
1/2 C Yogurt plain or vanilla-awesome or Butter Milk
1 1/2 C sugar*
3 eggs
3 C Flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp soda
4-5 medium Bananas- very ripe mashed
Optional Walnuts or slivered almonds on top
Cream together: Butter, yogurt, sugar, add eggs
Stir together: Flour, Salt & Soda
Mash Fine- Bananas ( do not use more than 5 it gets to mushy)
Add Bananas to creamed mixture, blend well. Slowly add flour mixture and optional nuts. Don't over mix
Pour into lightly greased loaf pans
Use ice cream scoop 1 per muffin and 4 scoops per small loaf pan
(My oven runs a little hotter than most so I do it at about 360 for 15. So adjust the following accordingly)
For muffins cook at 375 for 18 minutes
For small loaf pan cook 325 37-40 minutes place 4 small loaf pans on cookie sheet.
For large loaf pan cook 325 for 50 minutes
* or you can do 1/2 C sugar and 3/4 C Splenda
Another option would be using half the amount of white flour and adding half the amount of whole wheat flour. Remember for buttermilk you can sour milk using 1 TBSP lemon juice or vinegar for to equal 1 Cup milk.
