Baking makes me happy. Something about mixing the ingredients, the fragrant smells that come out of your kitchen, not to mention the delicious treats you end up with in the end. I am a big fan of baking. And yet... lately, I've been barely doing it. Partly it's because I'm too lazy to drag out my Kitchen Aide (I know... lazzzzyyyyy) and partly because I just haven't found any recipes I've felt I needed to make. However with 3 black bananas on the counter I decided it was time to whip something up. These were perfect. The recipe was super easy and came together in a couple minutes- plus I didn't need my stand mixer- score! This yields a lot, I got over 30 mini muffins, so I froze over half of them for easy snacking once the baby gets here. I think the absolute best part is you probably have all the ingredients on hand!

I made banana muffins this weekend too! :) So good!
ReplyDeleteThese muffins are amazing! I will be making these frequently. My whole family loves them!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed them! They are a favorite of the toddler set around my house.
ReplyDeleteLove that these have applesauce :) This would be a perfect snack to serve little kiddos while singing Raffi's "Apples & Bananas" to teach them vowel sounds!
ReplyDeleteJust made these and added a quarter cup of hemp hearts and a scant half cup dark coco chips :)
