Receta Butterscotch Chip Banana Muffins
It's amazing how new gear can bump up the cooking inspiration! I bought a new muffin pan last week and suddenly I'm all about baking muffins.
Last week I baked a dozen Sweet Potato Apple Muffins. Super healthy and a big hit with my wife and kids (I just didn't mention the sweet potato part to them).
This muffin recipe is based on the Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin recipe from my cookbook. What's different is I reached for butterscotch instead of chocolate chips this time. And I also whisked caramel sundae sauce into the batter. What can I say...I was having fun!
BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS AND MUFFINS
I've used butterscotch chips in pancakes before so adding them to muffins only seemed natural.
Adding caramel sundae sauce was just a decadent thought that crossed my mind while mixing the batter.
Even with the sundae sauce, these bananas muffins are still a healthy choice. Although their sweet butterscotch flavor can easily make you forget they are good for you!
