I found this recipe at Cooking During Stolen Moments. Kate and I are in similar positions. While she has two toddlers – and my monkeys are a bit older – we both struggle with putting tasty, nutritious meals on the table in a short period of time. Both of us also think that Rachel must cook in a different world where time passes different – rarely do we get her 30 minute meals done in 30 minutes.
Kate’s got several yummy looking recipes on her website, one of which are these banana muffins. I baked them Wednesday morning (I get up 45 minutes earlier than the kids do), and had them done by the time they were ready to eat breakfast. They both said I have to make them again, and add nuts or chocolate chips next time. I’ll gladly do that, but I also think I will reduce the sugar to 1/2 a cup, as I found the muffins very sweet. So sweet, in fact, that I was still tasting the sweetness in my mouth 20 minutes after I ate one.
