Have any of you ever brought dozens of bananas to a big group breakfast thing and end up bringing most of them back to your house because no one in your town likes bananas?
It happens. It happens to me.
Good thing around here we are banana-eating-machines (baby is included/the main culprit).
It's definitely a treat when we get to have banana muffins or banana bread around here since we usually eat bananas up so quickly. To be honest, though, I mostly wanted to make the muffins so I could show you these adorable muffin papers from Bake It Pretty. Do you know about Bake It Pretty?
You should know about Bake It Pretty.
They make the most adorable baking supplies on the planet. There's stuff for cupcakes, candy, packaging, parties.. everything. You'll just die.
After visiting Bake It Pretty, fainting, and then reviving yourself, get back to these muffins! I like these ones because they puff up all pretty and taste kinda tropical (there's a little coconut inside). These would be fun to make on a Saturday morning with the kids or on one of those northern snow days that keep happening. What is the deal with the snow this year? Ridic.
Anyways, if you're in need of a little pick-me-up, pull off your Snuggie and bake yourself a batch of these. They're not even that bad for you, swearsies!
You can find the recipe here on Food4Tots. I would repost, but the blog is so cute, you just have to see it. I made some of my usual healthy changes (some whole wheat flour, honey in place of sugar, etc..), but that's it. Enjoy!
PS- The baking papers were sent compliments of Bake It Pretty, but I was not paid for this post. Thanks again, BIP!
When you sub honey for sugar do you do the full amount? I have a son that I need to cut back on the sugar for and am not finding a ton of info about subbing honey. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMaureen, I usually do a little less honey, especially if it's a strong honey. You can sub about 7/8 cup honey for 1 cup sugar if you want the same sweetness, but use less if you want. Make sure you reduce the liquid in the recipe a little to make up for the change.
ReplyDelete1. I love you.
ReplyDelete2. Will you be my Valentine?
3. Will you come over and bake me these for breakfast?
4. That is all.
Thank you so much! I have some bananas that are past eating prim but perfect for banana bread or something so I may have to try honey.
ReplyDeleteI bought 60 bananas for a high school marching band competition this weekend. I have 18 bananas left and there are two of us!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
