  • In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients- flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt
  • In the base of a kitchen aid or in a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes on medium high until pale and fluffy. Add each egg, one at a time and the extracts and beat for 1 more minute on medium high
  • Next on low speed, add in the wet and dry ingredients. When adding, alternate the dry ingredients (flour mixture) with the wet (buttermilk), beginning and ending with the dry (we do this in 5 parts - ⅓ dry, ½ wet, ⅓ dry, ½ wet, ⅓ dry)
  • Add in the banana mixture and mix on low until just evenly combined and scoop into a lined muffin pan
