Adapted from Genevieve Ko‘s recipe from the NYTimes Cooking
Most people who know or have worked with me have eaten my banana bread. I made it often especially when the kids were in school and I needed to send a snack. I baked 2-3 loaves of banana bread and took one to work to share with my colleagues. I am sure my kids were bored of it. Recently I found this recipe, and I love it. Healthy as it is made with whole wheat flour and brown sugar/honey instead of white sugar. Try it and thank Genevieve Ko for the recipe. Yields 12 muffins.
