I'm allergic to bananas; I can't eat them, of course, my husband and kids love them. Usually, they eat them by itself or in smoothies, but sometimes I bake something for them. This recipe of Chocolate Banana Muffins came on the catalog of King Arthur Flour, it looked divine, so I made it with my kid. I made some adaptations; the result is a soft spongy cake with a mild banana flavor, delicious.
I love King Arthur Flour (I keep all-purpose, white whole wheat and bread flour in my pantry at all times) and Imperial Sugar for baking. Not affiliate with me, it just that good ingredients make such a difference.
