2 medium bananas, very ripe
 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, do not sift
 1/4 cup wheat germ
 2 tsp baking powder
 1 tsp baking soda
 1/4 tsp salt
 1/2 cup sugar
 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
 2 large eggs
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 Preheat oven to 375.  Oil 12 1/2 cup muffin tins and set aside.
 Peel and cut the banana into 2 inch pieces.  Process the banana
 with the metal blade until smooth (30 seconds).  Scrape work bowl
 as necessary.  Add remaining ingredients and process for 3 seconds.
 Scrape down work bowl and process for 1 second more.  Fill each
 muffin tin 2/3 full with batter.  Bake in center of oven for 15
 minutes or until muffins are firm to the touch and tops are golden
 brown.  Cool in muffin tins for 8 minutes and then remove to a wire
 rack. (They come out of the muffin tins easier this way.)  Makes
 12 muffins.
 To make these without a food processor, mash the bananas well. Mix
 the flour, wheat germ, baking powder , baking soda, salt, and sugar.
 Whisk the eggs, butter and vanilla together.  Combine the bananas,
 dry mixture and liquid mixture and stir until barely combined.
