Healthy Banana Sourdough Muffins

     By now it’s no surprise that sourdough muffins are my jam.  Bertha (my sourdough starter) and I love to make muffins together.  We do a pretty darn good job too, if I do say so myself.  


     She just loves to get a taste of a bit of sugar and I love having a quick and easy breakfast waiting for Jax.  We have two or three kinds of muffins in the freezer at any given time.  So he just picks one, we warm it up and breakfast is ready.  

      With some muffin recipes, having them regularly might not be such a good idea.  But most of my muffins use oatmeal, whole wheat flour, sourdough starter, yogurt and as little sugar as I can get away with but still have them taste like the delicious muffin you expect.  


    This muffin recipe takes it even one step further.  These are muffins that you can feel pretty darn good about and still feel like you are giving yourself a treat.  Go ahead and try one.  Heck, enjoy it!
