Banana muffins may just be my favorite muffins. They never disaapoint. Even the worst banana muffin is still better than the average blueberry muffin. Did that make sense? You know when you’re starving so you go into your local Starbucks or Coffee Bean and you look at all the sad pastries sitting in the …
