Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Mix in milk, eggs and margarine until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture.
