I stand by my theory that muffins are the ultimate for quick weekday breakfasts. Especially when you manage to get a fruit, a veggie and whole wheat into those muffins.
As I prefer my muffins to be, this recipe is simple and straight forward. Also, while I have used half pumpkin and half banana, you could easily only one or the other. You could also switch out walnuts for the pecans.
This recipe makes 12 large muffins or you could make a single loaf of bread with it. Flexibility in baking – it’s what I’m all about. If only everything else in life was so easy to adapt, switch and change.
