Its a universal fact that when bananas go soft and black, you need to use them up as they are perfect for baking at this stage, soft, sweet, dark and mushy. And when you are craving for a breakfast that is nice and figure-friendly then banana nut muffins are obvious choice. Moreover my younger one who is teething these days has been low on appetite but he cannot possibly say no to any form of cake or muffins. These muffins are a breeze to make and thats the best thing I like about muffins. As mentioned in my previous posts as well, muffins are just healthier cupcakes so relax and enjoy these yummy treats but of course in moderation.
