Nowadays, I buy just enough bananas for us to eat, so that we don’t have much of leftover to tempt me to go ahead and bake. 😀 When they are ripe, I tend to freeze them so that I can use them for my breakfast smoothies during the weekend. But at times, I can’t stop myself from baking and enjoying them, but I try to keep them as close to being healthy.
These banana muffins are made of wholewheat flour (aatta) – even better if you can get hold of wholemeal flour, and spiked with a lot of spices. If you thought that banana bakes are supposed to be only with cinnamon, then these muffins will change your thought process. It has almost all spices that would essentially go into your masala chai! I had printed out this recipe from the General Mills site but unfortunately that link now seems to be broken, so I am unable to tag it here. If you have a couple of bananas that you don’t want to eat but don’t want to throw either plus you are lost as to what to make for the next day morning breakfast, then make these super easy flavorful muffins! I have used small disposable cake trays here, but you can make normal sized muffins off this too – like how I made them the first time! Off to the recipe…
