I know I promised a recipe from Nigella– and believe me, I have one picked out and everything– but rest assured, neither is this another Martha recipe. Like Amanda, I felt inspired by Joy the Baker’s recent Oatmeal Blueberry Applesauce Muffins. I originally wanted to make these into apple-chai muffins– I tried and fell in love with Starbuck’s new Apple-Chai Infusion last week– but when I went in search of cardamom at the grocery store, I discovered that it was far too expensive for a college student in the middle of buying 4958381 books for this semester. Nixed that plan.
But this morning I really, really wanted to bake these muffins. Alas, I have neither applesauce nor blueberries in my house at the moment. However, I did have two browning bananas that were begging to be baked into something yummy. Hmmm… As I began to throw together these muffins with what I had on hand, I realized by the time I finished with this recipe it would only have a passing resemblance to Joy the Baker’s.
