Honey, I Shrunk the Muffins

April 25, 2008 at 12:09 pm (Baking / Cooking, Crochet)

Peeling a ripe banana early one morning, it quickly became apparent that there just wouldn’t be enough to top even my modest bowl of cereal. It’s not that it had been half-rotten or already nibbled on, but it was just so small to begin with.

No, this just wouldn’t do. So what does one do with a tiny banana…?

Make tiny banana nut muffins, of course! Now, that’s a satisfying way to use up an otherwise too-tiny fruit!

    I love mini-muffins. Somehow, when you eat 5 (which is probably more than eating a regular-size muffin) it seems like you are hardly eating at all:)
