Whole Wheat Banana Oat Muffins


Can we all just take a step back and admire at how healthy (…sorta) it’s been around here lately?!Seriously, this is an accomplishment. Well, here comes another healthy recipe. But it’s good! Just stick with me here :) It’s definitely got a good start. Look! It uses up those icky bananas nobody really wants to eat!!Wait, let’s talk about that for a second. Bananas are amazing because of those peels. Like you know what you are getting yourself into when you open that peel just by looking on the outside. It’s really great, because you don’t really get that with many other fruits!For example, apples. I mean I LOVE apples, especially when you get a nice honeycrisp, but back to their disadvantages… I can not even begin to tell you how many times I’ve bit into a granny smith apple and thought someone was pouring acid in my eyes. Those things can be dangerous!! You can never tell when they’re gonna be yummy. Unless I’m just uninformed on some magical technique…quite possibleWell enjoy the healthy party while it lasts…I wouldn’t count on it lasting long! ;)

  1. MMMmmmm! These look delicious. You know we love our banana bread too! :) And apparently I can’t recognize the quality of granny smith’s either. Sometimes Mr. N will come home from school and tell me that his apple was awful. Yet another reason to appreciate bananas – they’re honest! ;)
