Fresh-baked muffins are back!

Can you believe it’s been 5 months since I posted a new muffin recipe… OMG how did you guys get through your day? These Banana Loaf Muffins were well worth the wait. So simple. So moist. So delicious!

Banana-Loaf-Muffins_2 Banana-Loaf-Muffins_3 This recipe is not entirely new, more of a lesson, actually. The base of the batter is my all-time favourite Mom’s Quick and Easy Banana Bread. Did you know that any loaf recipe can become muffins? It’s true, just a simple tweek to the cooking time (see recipe below).


Banana-Loaf-Muffins_4sq Banana-Loaf-Muffins_1 In my muffins today I used 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips (dah), but in the past I’ve used chopped walnuts, pecans or even dried cranberries. Go crazy, add what ever you like. You can also be a purist and go 100% banana!

Banana-Loaf-Muffins_5 I had to include a close-up… soooo yummy!

    How much could I reduce the sugar?
    Even better, do you have a good substitute for sugar?

      You could try bringing it down to 3/4 cup. I have not tried any sugar substitutes.
