I found a recipe that looked yummy and I played with it...added some different ingredients, swapped out a bit of the flour for whole wheat and replaced the sugar with Splenda. A new twist on banana muffins....add PEANUT BUTTER and you have a hit! Healthier, still crazy good and a great treat with coffee to start your day. I think you will like this!
