Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

I've been using this recipe for years, and I will give credit to my friend Angie for it. She brought them to one of our coffee mornings when our kids were tiny and I've been using it ever since! I've adjusted the sugar level but you can add more if you think they should be sweeter. I think they're fine with this amount.

Beat thoroughly:
1/2 C sugar
1 1/2 C mashed bananas
1/2 C oil
2 eggs

Then add:
1 1/2 C whole wheat flour (regular or pastry)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt

At this point you can add anything else you want, like:
sunflower seeds
sesame seeds
flax
nuts
coconut (this is our favourite and I add about 1 C or more)
chocolate chips (today I threw in some butterscotch chips I had leftover from Christmas baking!)

Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes.
