10 May Banana and Cashew Muffins
I feel like I’ve overloaded on sugary treats this week and my whole body feels toxic. I think its comfort eating when I get bored or fed up. So I decided to find a recipe that would quench my need for something sweet but retain the ” healthy” part. These little Mountains of yumminess take literally 10 mins to make and have nothing bad in them. I was surprised after making the first batch that they seemed to have vanished after a couple of hours. To my surprise my boys had devoured them and requested, “mum those were really good, can you make some more?” I nearly dropped to the floor in amazement. Teenage boys eating something that doesn’t have sugar in! Since Tuesday I have made four batches and every time they are gone within 3hrs. Nothing more to be said here.
