A modification of banana bread, using oil and Egg Beaters instead of butter and eggs. I made the batter ahead, scooped it into muffin papers, and froze it. Christmas morning all that’s needed is an extra 5 minutes in the oven and we have fresh, no-work muffins. These pass the heart-test, but that doesn’t mean […]
