What's Cookin'

I made these banana bread muffins with some over-ripe bananas I had saved in my freezer.

These kids LOVE bananas but there are times when they don't get eaten quick enough!

{Which is surprising, considering how MUCH these kids eat!}

So, I put them in the freezer when the begin to go brown. And take them out when I want to make banana bread..or muffins.

So, I tried this recipe and they were okay. I rate them a 6/10. I am still looking for the PERFECT use of bananas for low calorie snacks!

Low Calorie Banana Muffins

My whole family loves these! Although they may seem small (considering the size of muffin we can get in a bakery) but we always add a helping of fruit or yogurt for breakfast. Yummy!
