Recipe Collection: Banana Bread Muffins

I’m going to go bananas!

And not because I have too many bananas! We are super busy starting our business, plus I have to wear all my regular “hats,” like being a mother, wife, blogger, etc. In the craziness of it all, I thought I’d share a healthy banana bread recipe.

Note from Kate: We love these, too.  Whenever we have overripe bananas, we make a big batch and use it for breakfast on busy mornings, especially homeschool co-op days.  These freeze well so that you can make them ahead!

If you’re going bananas, too, remember to take a breath & remember how blessed you are!
