Recipe Description
Where do I start to try to convey to you how good these are!? Let me start with the flavors. The banana flavor (if you have used very ripe bananas …and you should be using very ripe bananas) is wonderful. The banana aroma was present even before I baked them. The warm flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg are perfectly proportioned to not over power but blend in and enhance the over all muffin taste. The oatmeal in the muffin gives you a slightly chewy texture while the yogurt and oil make the muffin soft and tender. The topping is just enough to give you a slight crunch from the pecans and just the right amount of “sweet” to let the banana flavor and spices come shining through. It’s PERFECT…unbelievably PERFECT! But don’t take my word for it, make it and savor all of it’s virtues for yourself. Enjoy!
