Hey friends! Shall we start the week off on a yummy note? More specifically, let's chat about these maple cashew butter stuffed banana muffins - which are all decked out for the holidays because I simply couldn't help myself from nabbing candy cane muffin decor. Between having a very Christmas-y weekend watching both Home Alone and Elf, plus going ice skating (more on that later this week!), along with lighting up my living room with my Christmas tree and fireplace decorations every night and playing nonstop Christmas music as of late, I'm full blown in holiday mode.

Whenever I go food shopping, bananas are always on the list. I buy a ton of bananas! A and I both use them for smoothies almost daily, plus I like to smear bananas with nut butter or top yogurt bowls with banana slices often. However, I somehow wound up with too many bananas in the house over the past week. We couldn't eat them fast enough, and before I knew it, I had 5 brown bananas sitting in my fruit basket. I threw a few of them in the freezer for later smoothie use, and then I had a yummy idea for the remaining ones... ....baking some muffins! ... [Read More]
