This is a recipe I found at internet from Anna Nienhuis (hiddenponies.com) but I made some changes in order to fit our house needs.

There so many recipes over internet that does not work, I tested dozens of them to find ONE that does work and this recipe can make the most soft muffins you will ever taste it.

BUT here is the secret: IT HAS TO BE RIPE Bananas. Do not try if they re not ripe yet.

My kids loved and I gifted my friends Harriet and Ted who supposed to go on a 3 days drive to USA for their car’s snack.
