Banana bread and cupcakes

Ingredients:

(Dry)

3 cups flour

1.5 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp unsweetened cocoa

1.5 tsp cinnamon

(Wet)

1 cup brown sugar

1.5 cups margarine

3 large eggs

5 med sized bananas (brown/spotty)

2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions: oven: 350F(175C)

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined

Beat sugar and margarine in a bowl until creamy

Add eggs and beat in until fully combined

4. Add in mashed bananas (or mash in mix as I did). Add vanilla extract and blend mix thoroughly.

5. Add dry ingredients approx. 1/2 of mix at a time. Mix until combined

6. Grease your pans (cupcake, muffin, loaf) and add in batter until approx. 2/3rds full

7. Place in oven and cook. My cupcakes took 20 mins and my loaf took an hour. Check when done by sticking a toothpick/chopstick in the center. When it comes out clean it's done.

8. Let cool in pan for 10 mins, then let finish cooling on wire rack (up to 2 hrs for the loaf)
