One of my favourite things to make when I’ve got some old bananas hanging around is banana bread. I have posted my recipe before but I decided to tweak it just a little bit and turn it into muffins. Not only do I have a toddler who loves easy-to-eat snacks but now I’ve got a baby who simply adores feeding himself. These muffins are so moist that you won’t have to worry about your wee ones choking on any crumbs. If you end up pulling it apart into smaller pieces for them to eat as I do, the moisture help keep it in manageable segments without turning into a giant crumbly mess. Everyone in your family will love these mini banana bread muffins!
