Unusual Suspects the Musical

Do you buy too many bananas on purpose just to let them ripen so you can make Banana Muffins for your family? Most kids love bananas and anything you can make with them. Bread and muffins made with ripe bananas are nice and moist and sweet, but these muffins are particularly tasty due to a little different ingredient. These muffins are made with yogurt or buttermilk which gives a nice “perky” flavor. I like to add a handful of chopped pecans, but if your family isn’t a real fan of nuts, you can leave them out. But, because these muffins are so moist, a little crunch added makes them a little heartier, too.

Having a few inexpensive fruit recipes on hand helps our family stop the wasteful habit of throwing out fruit that has been sitting a little too long. Most every fruit can be used in some sort of recipe after it’s seen better days. If you’ve got a banana or two that no one will eat, the best thing to do is grab a muffin or bread recipe, mash up those bananas, and start mixing.
