The BEST Banana Muffins



We go through bananas like crazy...from smoothies, to cereal, smeared with peanut butter, or just plain!
This week, I had a few bananas that were past the "sliced over cereal" stage....and almost past the "blend into smoothies" stage.  I decided to whip up some banana muffins, and I just HAD to share the recipe!  These were SO good y'all. I make banana bread a lot, and I like to use different recipes to find my favorite...and this might be it.  Moist, flavorful, and filled with ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge/pantry.  

Try them out the next time you have some black ripe bananas, and are in the baking mood!
