Healthy Banana Muffins

I like to add as much healthy ‘umph’ to my recipes as possible so I made a few tweaks to the Better Homes and Gardens recipe and it has turned out well every time.  It’s my go to recipe for using up over-ripe bananas before they are unsalvageable.

Healthy Banana Muffins  recipe adapted from BHG Banana Bread
