I wish I liked banana muffins because these look perfect! For some reason I don’t like them, BUT, my hubby does. In fact, he loves them. So I will periodically make them for him. Once every two months satisfies his craving, so I’m pinning this so I can make your delicious muffins the next time he makes puppy dog eyes at me.
Well thank you Elaine! I hope your husband enjoys the muffins. 🙂
Those muffins look so light and fluffy 🙂
