Avocado Banana Muffins

Want a new breakfast idea? We all need something new because cereal is getting a little redundant.

I’ve got a delicious new muffin idea for you. Muffins make a great breakfast for everyone during those crazy mornings and it’s also a great after school snack. These banana muffins are made with avocado, a touch of orange zest, and an orange streusel topping.

These muffins are not just heavenly in texture but also heavenly in flavor. You would know if as soon as you make some and try it! Unless, of course, you don’t like bananas.

What? People don’t like bananas? Yes, there are quite a few people who don’t like bananas out there. I was just as shocked when I found out last week that there are people who actually don’t like bananas.

I made a big batch of these avocado banana muffins last week and sent most of them to work with my husband. His work crew have been my taste test group for many, many years and I love getting the feedback from them. I couldn’t wait to hear what everyone thought of these muffins. Then, my husband sent me a message and told me that those who ate them, loved them and the muffins were all gone.

What did he mean by “those who ate them?” Well, turns out that there were quite a few people who do not eat bananas! I was shocked … and a little sad. That means they never got to try banana pudding, or bananas foster, or banana cream pie. I can’t even imagine because those are some of my favorite desserts.

So these muffins are for you, those of you who love bananas as much as my family and I do.
