The Dish
Baking has just been made easier. Easier on your time and with much easier cleanup. We love these one-bowl muffins (named for only needing one bowl to mix them). Ripe bananas and a little touch of honey sweetness replace the standard granulated sugar. Combine that with a little greek yogurt (for moisture) and whole wheat flour, and you’re well on your way to delicious tasting, guilt-free breakfast.
You can easily make these muffins a couple days ahead of time. If you bake them on a Sunday, for example, they’ll supply you with a few days of satisfying prep-free breakfast options.
