So with the kids out for summer vacay breakfast requests have gotten big. The girls have taken advantage of the fact that I love to cook, bake, and create in the kitchen. Their most recent requests include baked goods like mama’s homemade special biscuits and the moist banana muffins. Which brings me to this post the moist banana muffins as Madison and Lexie call them. They absolutely fill up the house with a sweet banana vanilla aroma that is all yummy goodness.
I am sure there are a million recipes for moist banana muffins but this one is the bomb diggity.. It has unsweetened applesauce and ripe bananas that add to the moistness of the muffin. This is one of my simple go to breakfasts for the girls. There is no fuss like cinnamon, mainly because Lexie and my hubby are not cinnamon fans, and no nuts in this batch because Madison doesn’t like nuts in her baked goods. However, if you love cinnamon and nuts please feel free to add some to your batch. This recipe can be made from start to finish in 30 minutes without cooling time or 40 minutes with cooling time.
I hope you enjoy making these and seeing them vanish as quickly as they come out of the oven.
Buen Provecho!
