Kiwi Banana Muffins

I awoke from a nap last week to find 16lbs of kiwi on my porch.  Yup, that's right... SIXTEEN POUNDS.  We have been eating kiwi daily but I needed to find a way to use up more of it, so this week I made four batches of kiwi banana muffins and three batches of kiwi banana bread.  I was not sure how it would turn out but this recipe received rave reviews.  They are moist and delicious as well as good for you.  The recipe is as follows:

Dawna's Kiwi Banana Muffins/Bread
yields 12 muffins or 1 quick bread
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 bananas, mashed
3 kiwis, mashed
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Mix melted butter and sugars together.  Add egg and mix well.  Add fruit and mix well.  In a separate bowl whisk/sift together flours, baking soda and salt.  Add to fruit mixture.  Spray muffin tins/loaf pan with non stick cooking spray and pour in batter.
For muffins:  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes
For bread: Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes
Let cool in pan for ten minutes and then remove to cooling racks.

*Easy way to mash kiwi... cut kiwi in half, scoop fruit out onto a cutting board w/spoon and mash with a fork.  Sure beats peeling the furry skin off of the little buggers.  :0)

Enjoy!
