Healthier Honey Banana Muffins

After almost two months of silence on my blog, I finally got the urge to write again. Sometimes my writer’s block gets so strong that I literally cannot think of anything good to write about. I then get distracted by work and other obligations and completely forgot I have a blog all together.

One thing I have been doing quite often lately has been baking! I’ve never been a baker. Mainly because I don’t ever want sweets in the house tempting me every time I walk into the kitchen, but I’ve just had a mean desire to bake things and, by golly, have I baked! Maybe it’s knowing that the holidays are upon us and baking makes me feel cozy.

Apart from making homemade French bread, Whole Wheat Bread & Pumpkin Bread, I tested out a new muffin recipe I found on Pinterest. I originally was going to banana bread (clearly, you’re realizing my theme of bread baking…), but I didn’t have enough ingredients to make the recipe I like, so I adapted. If you follow me on Instagram then you most likely saw my InstaStory when these first came out of the oven. So moist and delicious!

Whole Wheat Honey Banana Muffins

Ingredients:

• 3 1⁄2 cups of whole wheat flour

• 2 tsp of baking soda

Directions:

1. Stir together dry ingredients
