Picky Banana Eaters : Banana Muffins

We can never seem to eat all of our bananas - it's the same in a lot of households I imagine.  There is a brief window between too green and too ripe, if you don't scoff them over the day or 2 that they are perfect you suddenly have a half bunch that only the fruit flies seem remotely interested in.

With a sad few in our fruit bowl this morning and lunch box fillers being non-existent I whipped up a batch of these.  They turned out moist and sweet with not much added sugar.  I use paper cases for easy clean up too.

For a healthier version leave out the sugar, add a tablespoon of honey and substitute half the flour for wholemeal or oats.
