So by now you probably have a good idea that I love baking with bananas. Aaaaand I love to bake muffins. At least once a week at my place. They’re just so easy to knock up, freeze and grab as you need them for lunch boxes or an afternoon snack. Not to mention a great way to use up those over-ripe bananas. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
