Spiced Banana Muffins

"Recipe by Canadian Chef Michael Smith. "A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!" You got to love him!"

If you're looking for a simple, delicious banana muffin, look no further. These are excellent! I did add 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 cup walnuts, as we're fans of both in our banana muffins/bread - this is a very flexible recipe. Thanks for sharing this recipe - it's definately going in my cookbook. Made for Veg*n Swap 10.
