thing that goes on in my head. Just what the heck is a bananna muffin? Is a bananna muffin

Deep existential muffin thoughts aside, for the purpose of this post, a bananna muffin is a little
cake, made in the shape of a muffin with a muffin wrapper that is sweet, tender, moist, and full

springiness and just a touch of stickiness. It’s not too sweet and there are massive bananna
tones and subtle caramel notes.
