You know when you have that one brown banana that you don’t want to waste, but one isn’t really enough to whip up a banana cake or banana bread? Yeah that happened to me today. Not to be thwarted by my lack of over-ripe fruit, I decided to attempt a recipe makeover.
I love breakfast muffins and have a great recipe that is decidedly unhealthy {1 1/2 cups of sugar!}. Boo. Using ingredients that I had on hand I mixed things up and the result is a delicious, easy recipe and a perfect lunch-box filler, plus I managed to cut down some of the sugar and flour content without sacrificing on taste!
