For some reason in my house, when bananas get a few spots on the them, my kids won't eat them. Of course, I toss them in the freezer and after awhile, my freezer gets over loaded with frozen bananas.
Usually I make either Banana Pancakes, Banana Chocolate Chip muffins or Chocolate Banana Bread, but this time I thought I would try something different. If you follow on Instagram you would have seen that I made these just before school let out last week. One of my kids commented that it tasted just like a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich without the jelly part. All three kids enjoyed their muffin with a glass of milk and I also managed to freeze a few for a quick snack another time.

Are your kids like mine? They see a spot on a banana and automatically label "the banana has gone bad, time to freeze it"?
