Banana Muffins II

I was on a baking kick this past weekend, and these muffins made for a wonderful breakfast treat. The texture, flavor, and moistness was just right for us and my son and I particularly enjoyed this recipe. I snagged two of the leftovers to take to work for breakfast today! I will definitely use this recipe again - for muffins or for a loaf of banana bread. It is terrific! I did think it was a little bit sweet - not in a bad way, but if you prefer your banana breads less sweet you could probably cut the sugar just a little bit. I always use very overripe bananas for baking, which adds to the sweetness factor as well.

I finally made a dent in my freezer bag of overripe bananas though - for some reason it was one of my "goals" this weekend! Between these muffins and 2 loaves of banana bread, I'm down to just a couple bananas left in the freezer bag reserved for baked goods. :)
