This is a recipe innovated by me.Again..the

question of how to use ripe bananas in a new

recipe ….?I got this idea when I was about to

sleep,so today morning after preparing

breakfast,my next action was to prepare this

awesome muffins.

Made a ‘lassi’out of bananas and curd,and then

mixed in to the batter. I love to make any type

of banana cake with brown sugar, for colour

and taste.So,if you are using white sugar you

can caramel a little and then add to the

mixture .( Always use sulphur free sugar)

Do try this easy,quick and tasty muffins and

share your feedback !
