mini banana muffins

I know I just posted apple cheddar muffins but I have been in a muffin mood lately so you are getting another muffin recipe today. It is time to take out that pile of black bananas that are sitting in your freezer and put them into some baking. You didn't know that I knew that about you, did you? Banana hoarder. Yeah, I am guilty too. I hoard bananas in my freezer. I am sure it drives my husband crazy because our freezer is already way too full. So I finally got rid of some today and boy am I glad. These mini muffins were moist and fluffy and a great size for my kids. They kind of trick you as well. You think 'Oh they're mini, I can eat a few of these in one sitting.' Well, when you tell yourself that a few times a day, it can get dangerous. I think I ate 9 mini muffins today.
