I swear, it’s almost like I subconsciously buy bananas with no intentions on eating them but instead to let them sit on the counter till they’re ready to be turned into a dessert. Anyone else?!?!
I’ve been all about maple the last few weeks. It give so much depth and flavor to things while being a natural sweetener. These muffins are by far the best Banana Muffins I’ve had. They are moist and flavorful and oh so tasty. Sienna absolutely LOVED them too.
Another thing I have been obsessed with recently is browning butter. I’ve been doing it a lot in dinner dishes but a friend said it’s great in baking so these were the perfect opportunity to try it out. You can easily just used melted butter for these but I will continue to brown butter in All. The. Things. Try it out at least once!
These are delicious as is but also fantastic with a glaze drizzled on top. Check out the Pumpkin Maple loaf for an easy glaze!
