BANANA BREAD MUFFIN

Photobucket Banana Bread Muffib Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com

There are various ways to bake your banana muffin but this one by far the best I've baked.  Banana Bread Muffin was easy to whip up, hardly takes a few minutes and you can serve them for breakfast or as afternoon snack fresh  from the oven.

Banana Bread Muffin was so moist and delicious, not overly sweet.  Instead of nuts you can replace with chocolate chip or dried fruit and the combinations are endless.
