Sundays are for muffins :-)

I was craving muffins Sunday morning, and found a basic vegan recipe on About.com. I’m inherently unable to follow recipes, so naturally I tweaked this one a bit and came up with the easiest, healthiest, and perhaps tastiest muffin I’ve made in a while, vegan or not!
Here’s what I ended up with:
3 bananas- the blacker, the better!
¼ cup canola oil
¾ cup sugar (I cut this down from the 1 cup in the original recipe, and I think ½ would be plenty)
2 cups flour (I used half fine ground whole wheat flour and half ground flax seed)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Mix the first 3 ingredients in one bowl, the last 3 in another, the combine. Distribute evenly between 12 greased or lined muffin tins and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
You could easily add nuts, dried fruit, a bit of peanut butter, or a few tablespoons of cocoa powder to make delicious variations of this recipe! If I make these again, I’m going to sub coconut oil in for the canola, and add walnuts and cranberries. DELISH!
