It is no secret that I enjoy cooking and all things that come with it. Well, except for maybe the cleaning up. I read cookbooks for pleasure and even watch a few cooking shows. I also love a day off. I’m up for a good restaurant any day with someone else doing all of the work.
Savannah decided to come home over the weekend since the college campus was closed due to Hurricane Matthew. Having her home was great, and I usually make a few of her favorite dishes while she is home. This time, she cooked breakfast for us one morning. She baked these fabulous Cinnamon Swirl Banana Muffins. The cinnamon swirl was a great addition to banana muffins.
This recipe can also be used to make a loaf of banana bread. Savannah said that the bread is better the day after it bakes. We wouldn’t know because the muffins did not last long enough to find out.
