Courtney & Lea =**Banana Nut Muffin**= =**Yeild 12**=

Ingredients

 * 2 cups all-purpose flour
 * 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
 * 1/2 teaspoon salt
 * 4 overripe bananas
 * 1 cup brown sugar
 * 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
 * 2 eggs
 * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
 * 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter 2 muffin tins. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together like you mean it, for a good 3 minutes. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out. Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room temperature.

You search and find you have enough of most ingredients, however, you only have 1 1/4 tsp of baking powder and 3/4 tsp of vanilla extract. Which item is the limiting ingredient and which is the excess? How many muffins can you bake?
