Banana Muffins

Alex Kornswiet
One of my favorite recipes to make is banana bread, but when you want to bring it as a shared treat, or have some extra edge pieces, Banana Muffins are even better! These are moist, sweet, and delicious - without being too much. This is the simplest version of them (just some spices), but you can always add nuts, chocolate chips, or more to your creations!
