One of my many hobbies include baking muffins. I love muffins. Not cupcakes, not bread, but just cute little muffins. I just love how they are enough to be part of a meal, be a standalone snack, can be made savoury-ish and also is easy to share.
I've been searching for a great banana bread-type muffin and have tried many. Some turn out too dry, too sticky/ moist, not enough texture, you get the drift. I'm really looking for a simple staple I can just stash in my recipe book (a.ka. Evernote, lol).
Today, I'm trying out Cat Can Cook's awesome banana recipe. I happened to also catch this lovely lady at a local television show and she was great.
The link can be found here.
With JUST 8 ingredients and over 1000 comments, this should be killer right? We shall see!

Et voila! One is a little muffin that I usually make so I can taste it pronto, hehe

Overall, I thought this muffin recipe is a keeper. I followed the recipe to a T and it tasted great and the top was a little hard and crusty while the bottom/ inside remained light and fluffy (how I like it). The only downside was that I felt the not-too-ripe banana aftertaste which was completely my fault because obviously, I didn't wait for the bananas to get a little riper, lol. I was so excited to try out the recipe and was also craving them. This recipe is not for the ones that enjoy really moist and sticky banana muffins recipes.
I'm trying out different ways of uploading photos on Blogspot and most photos were size "Small" with only the 2nd to the last photo as size "Large". Signing up for a Picasa account soon so we'll see how the photos get affected too. :)
Alright, all for now. Again, Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you had a fabulous holiday season!
XO,

Cost: Maybe about $4 for the muffin recipe. Yield = 10 full muffins. The only real 'expense' I had was buying the bananas which were on sale at Walmart for $0.69/ lb.
Tools Used: Blogger, Chrome and Google (where I found Cat's recipe)
