Our go-to muffin recipe, Choco-Banano Muffins are always a hit. It’s a recipe that has been shared among friends time and time again and is based on a banana muffin recipe from The 250 Best Mufffin Recipes by Esther Brody. This past week, since we were learning about Calendula, we adapted the recipe to be Calendula Banana Muffins. They were fantastic! We all hope you enjoy them as much as we did. Feel free to sub gluten free flour without making other changes – they turn out really well for us.
