BANANA BREAD MUFFINS with MAPLE BACON COMPOUND BUTTER
Keeping simple galley methods in mind I transformed my favourite banana bread recipe into individual muffins baked in my Omnia Stove Top Oven. A dozen perfect little hand treats resulted. What made them even better was the addition of Maple Bacon Butter smeared over their already rich moist warm surface. Sadly they never last very long once Captain gets wind of their existence but they are so easy to make that once I have another ripe banana or two I can throw together another batch.

2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
3 tbsp Greek yogurt

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1-2/3 cups flour

Combine your dry ingredients well and fold into your wet mixture just until there is no visible unmixed flour.
Preheat conventional oven to 350 ° or Omnia stove top base plate on high then turn down to medium low for baking
Spoon into prepared muffin cups and bake for about 15-20 minutes until a toothpick test comes out clean.
