~ Banana Muffins ~
With all the hustle bustle and fast pace life of a metro, I sometimes
deeply crave for simple country life - deep blue skies, the gentle
warmth of morning sun,deep earthy aroma of wet soil and dew
drenched crisp blades of wild grass.The city life enriches us with
super luxuries and comforts but slyly keeps us away from the little
joys of nature ...Amongst this city life my little green area aka
the balcony of apartment is my best little hideaway and a perfect
place to spend the Sunday mornings with family and enjoy
a cup of piping hot tea with some warm buttery muffins.

Most of the kids in northern India are enjoying a spring break or a
change of new academic session break to be more precise, owing to which
my lil one is at home these days. This weekend she was adamant to bake a
treat for her dad . With a couple of over ripened bananas on the fruit tray
it had to be some banana muffins .....

Bananas are a wonder fruit, they are a rich source of potassium n magnesium
that aid in maintaining normal blood pressure , healthy heart and strong
bones. Being rich in soluble fibre they help in healthy digestion and nutrient
absorption. Bananas are perfect anytime snack for little ones too.
The overripe ones are great to bake muffins and banana breads !!
I'm a sucker for pretty colorful stuff , right from cupcake liners to funky
molds , tableware and baking accessories. Picked up these cute polka ones
at a throw away price from the local market .
These easy to bake buttery delights are a perfect accompaniment to any hot
beverage. Add some choco chips or nuts or keep them plain ; eat warm or pack
them as treats in lunch boxes - they are absolutely indulging. With almost
equal measurements of flour , butter and sugar this recipe based on
traditional pound cake is simple enough for lil ones to remember and try
their hands on. With loads of butter it is better to term these as divine
indulgence and treats ....I love the smell of vanilla and banana
together but you can omit vanilla for a stronger banana aroma.
