Ingredients

1/2 cup( S) sugar
5 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
1 Large egg(s)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 cup( S) all-purpose flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/4 cup( S) fat-free skim milk
4 Large banana(s), ripe, mashed
Icing
1 cup( S) powdered sugar
1 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest, strips, or more to taste
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 18 muffin holes with paper liners.

Place sugar and butter in a large bowl; cream with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until thoroughly mixed.

In another large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add half of flour mixture to butter mixture; beat well with mixer. Add milk and remaining flour mixture; beat until batter is combined and then fold in mashed bananas.

Spoon batter into muffin liners about 3/4 full. Bake until muffins start to brown and a tester inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 2 minutes; remove to a wire rack and cool completely before icing.

Meanwhile, combine icing ingredients in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Ice cooled muffins; cover and refrigerate any uneaten muffins. Yields 1 muffin per serving.
