I love banana bread but also muffins. America's Test Kitchen only has a recipe for banana BREAD (two actually), so I modified it with a Tyler Florence recipe which is actually quite similar to the ATK recipe.... just sayin.
In a bowl combine 2 c flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp of baking SODA, 1/2 tsp TABLE salt, and a cup of walnuts that have been chopped up and toasted (smitten has tips) on how to do that.
In another bowl, three very ripe bananas mashed up with a potato masher, 1/4 cup of plain wholefat yogurt, 6 tablespoons of melted and cooled butter, two lightly beaten eggs, and a tsp of vanilla extract.
Add the combined banana mix to the dry ingredients and fold in.
Spray a muffin tin (I usually need two, this makes 18 total).
375 on the lower middle rack, for 18-20 minutes. It's muffin time!

Pancakes- the best?
One of the problems of having too many cookbooks is you have multiple variations of recipes. How do you know what will work? It's Sunday morning, I've got the flour, the sugar, and the butter all out and I've got multiple tabs open. Usually I trust Bittman. But I've been burned by Bittman's pancakes before (only figuratively). He recommends two cups of flour to one tablespoon of sugar. And even that's optional! So I turned to Martha. And she has a more reasonable one cup of flour to two tablespoons of sugar recipe. Also, that's a good amount of pancakes for one and a half peoples. But what if I want to add fruit? Bittman says it's ok. It's a variation. So I pour the batter, top with fruit, wait for bubbles and flip. I also like that Martha says to douse some oil on a paper towel and use that to rub the pan down with. It is effective.
Here's Martha's recipe
And Bitman's *the picture is so not fair. of course his pancakes are better if you put bananas and pecans on top of them.
Is there something I don't know?
It looks like any ordinary pancake:

And then....
