Muffin Mama

A recent conversation with my (almost) three year old teammate last night reveals a great deal about the items that frequently come out of my kitchen.  Sam strolled in last night as I was making dinner:

Sam: “You got muffins, Kat?”

Me: “Nope.  I gave all of them to your family.” (Wu’s parents, Aunt, and Uncle are visiting, so I had made a batch up for them a couple days ago.)

Sam: “You makin’ pasta?”

Me: “No, I’m making chicken.”

Sam: “Is it for us?”

Me: “No, just for me.”

“You got muffins?” is usually one of the first questions Sam asks upon arriving at my house.  I make muffins a lot.  For out of town visitors, for students, for a lazy Saturday morning, for any occasion presenting a legitimate excuse for their consumption.  One of the most frequent types of muffins I make up are banana muffins, and indeed this is the variety I’m most famous for.  Today, I’m sharing the recipe with you…warning, make them once for loved ones and you may become the permanent muffin mama/papa in the family.
