We’ve a few bananas that aren’t looking great for eating, but will make for fab muffins. I also have a couple of now-or-never eggs to use up so why not take the opportunity to save a bit of waste and make some muffins instead? They don’t take long to put together either, so extra bonus is I can be eating muffins for lunch.
EDIT: I took what was left of these on a visit with family. Our youngest nephew said they were, “pretty good, actually”. Coming from a teenager, that’s the best I could have hoped for! Although I wonder if I should have taken it as an insult that he seemed surprised? Ha!
