      I'm surprised at how excellent the batter turned out. It was my Mom's idea, actually. =)

    1. Hey, Eunice!

      Sorry, all the muffins were gobbled up by me, Mama Carrie and a friend. =( I promise that if I bake this muffin again, I'll make more and share with you?

    1. Hey, Shirley,

      It just so happened that there was a bunch of overripe bananas.... and throwing them away would be a waste.

      But I might just take the CNY holidays off and bake so many muffins that Mama Carrie will collapse in horror. *winks*

    1. Since I have some overripe bananas, I've tried turning them into cookies but the result was disastrous. It tasted nowhere like cookies and resembled more like flattened cakes. =(

      Perhaps folks haven't thought of giving it a try?
