Banana Muffins with Cinnamon Frosting
We are notorious for buying bananas, and wasting said bananas when they go bad too quickly. As is no surprise to anyone, that was about to happen again, but I told K no way, we were actually going to bake something, and freeze the rest. Man, are we glad we did! These banana muffins with cinnamon frosting are so, so, so good! And, now we have bananas frozen that we can use to make these again and again :].
