Banana Muffins (Simply Muffins)

A crowd favorite and easy to throw together, these muffins are as yummy as they are versatile. Swap out the bananas for chopped apples, shredded zucchini, or whatever you have on hand. Store in tightly sealed container up to a week or (my fav!) store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheats in the microwave in under a minute for a quick breakfast on the go!
