Breakfast banana muffins

Around here the morning is one of the busiest times of the day.
With day home children arriving as early as 7:00 am there are some mornings when I haven’t even had a chance to grab a fresh cup of coffee before opening the door.
Three children to get dressed, two lunch bags to pack and out the door to catch the school bus all before 8:30.

It’s crazy-busy!

As much as I’d like to say that I get up early to make a nice big breakfast, I just can’t. Ask my husband, I need my sleep or I become a crazy angry woman.

The breakfasts around here consist of oatmeal, cereal, pancakes on the weekdays.
This morning I was up a little earlier than normal so I whipped up a batch of our favourite banana muffins.
Fresh from the oven I served them with yogurt, fresh fruit and some cheese.
So yummy!

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

How to make it:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Combine bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, egg, and melted coconut oil in a large bowl.
Fold in flour mixture, and mix until smooth.
Scoop into muffin pans.
