banana jam muffins

I love to buy bananas. Not only can they be eaten on their own, overripe bananas are perfect to be used in baking.

If I am a little "lazy", I would use overripe bananas to bake cakes or muffins.

If I am a little more "diligent", I would use overripe bananas to fry jemput-jemput.

Adding overripe bananas and jam to a muffin recipe is a lovely combination. The muffins have a nice aroma and are delicious.
