Banana Pecan Muffin Recipe

by katerina on April 22, 2006

I like to try and make something on Sundays for easy weekday breakfasts. It varies weekly but is usually some form of muffin or granola. This week I took advantage of some banana’s in the freezer to make these muffins from a Mark Bittman cookbook.

Also, I should rave about my fantastic new purchases. Firstly, a silicone muffin tinBanana Pecan Muffin Recipe – easily the best cooking tool I have bought in awhile. No need to use muffins tins, grease the pans, and the muffins never stick. (If you don’t have one grease the tins before you use this recipe.) Secondly, a muffin-sized ice cream scoopBanana Pecan Muffin Recipe. Spray it with a little oil and it expedites the process as well as keeping the mess to a minimum. If I have all the ingredients out I can make a batch of muffins in less time then the oven takes to preheat Banana Pecan Muffin Recipe
