Recipe repeat - Bananer muffins

I've posted about this recipe before but just in case you missed it, I want to share again.  These Banana muffins are so easy I made them this morning for an unexpected breakfast. I usually have the basic ingredients around the house and even if you don't, you can substitute to your liking. Best of all, these muffins are healthy and delicious!! Banana muffins (we're always looking for ways to use over ripe bananas right?) with agave (or honey if you prefer) instead of sugar, flax seed, successfully scrumptious HEALTHY. After eating them I now would recommend adding a bit of cinnamon and sugar streusel topping to their crowns. It'll create a perfect sweet-banana crunch. Get the banana muffin recipe (I stick to muffins because they're individually sized so eating one is enough Amanda) after the jump...
