Although I have some baking in the freezer, leftover from Christmas, I also had a few "vintage" bananas that needed to be turned into something! Pondside posted a link to a wonderful muffin recipe with bananas, carrots and other bits of deliciousness.
Almost everything was on hand.
A few dried apricots stood in for my shortage of dates; almonds played the role of pecans. These "Sunshine Muffins" are hearty, cinnamon, ginger delights.
A hot cup of tea and a warm muffin: there's a fine "pick-me-up" in the afternoon.
Thank goodness for those overripe bananas!
And Pondside.
I'm linking with the always effervescent Trish at Sweetology for "Tea Party Tuesday".
Oh my goodness! I'm working at home today (you can see that I'm working!) and I think a fresh batch of muffins might just be the thing!

Yummy muffins Karen, and it's nice you could substitute with what you had on hand.
ReplyDeleteI like the sharing of healthy recipes that goes on in blogland, new and old.

Those look great especially with that cup of tea. It's so enjoyable after baking to sit down with a tea and a sample of what one has made.
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look extremely delicious! I had afternoon tea at my daughter's today and we made some gingerbread which was yummy too!

Your muffins and tea look yummy.
ReplyDeleteWe cut and freeze overripe bananas so that we can use them in baking or smoothies anytime.
