What about those brown, mushy, overripe bananas sitting on your counter right now? I have a plan for you to use those up. I actually buy them to get to that stage. Then they either become frozen for smoothies, or I use them in banana muffins.
At this stage the bananas are very sweet and full of antioxidants. They are also easier to digest when getting overripe Bananas are a great source of potassium and many other nutrients. So eat them up!
These muffins are one bowl and easy to grab and eat on the go. Plus they can be made gluten free and they don't have refined sugar in them. Really the sweetness of the bananas makes it so you really don't need much to make them tasty.
