It should come as no surprise that I love muffins! There’s just something about their portability that gets me excited. Plus, they fit into a child’s hands so perfectly. It’s just cute, I tell you, cu-ute!!!
Since Madison can’t have my blueberry muffins too often due to her eczema (too much blueberry causes her to have flare-ups) and Mario doesn’t like nuts, I’ve had to develop a muffin that we could all enjoy! So here’s to the banana muffin (some w/ almonds on top, some without)!!!
By the way, these are my best muffins yet! So much better than my banana nut muffin recipe so I can tell I’m learning and growing when it comes to this whole “made from scratch” thing!
Oh yeah, they are moist and delicious too…obviously :)! So have at it…
