1/4 tsp salt
3 ripe bananas mashed with a fork
2 eggs

In another bowl whisk melted butter, mashed banana, egg and vanilla until blended.
Add banana mix to the dry bowl then use fork to combine. Do not over mix. Stir in the chocolate and fill the muffin cups 3/4 full.
Bake until a toothpick can be inserted and comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
These muffins were totally yummy and we will definitely be baking them again.

Are you building one or two raised beds? So great Dave can help Ben. And so many good looking food things. Do you tolerate xylitol? I get horrible stomach pains from it. I once had a bag, but finally threw it out. I wonder what they meant with "homeschooling being interesting." Could be either negative or positive.
I agree with Eva that it's so nice to see Dave and Ben working together on the raised beds. It's going to be wonderful growing your vegetables! Lol about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. I think the most difficult part for people in regard to homeschooling is relaxing into it and having fun and not worrying about if one's child is keeping up with the Joneses.
Thanks for the recipes! Everything looks great. I think I'll have to try the muffins with the chocolate bits! I've never cooked with xylitol, but I've seen it in my health food store . . have you ever tried stevia? Is that something your crew could tolerate?
Sending you lots of love!!! xoxoxo
Oooh, the soup and sausage tarts sound and look SUPERB!!!!!! I want to eat them right now!!!
I loved seeing the photos of Dave and Ben working together! What a lovely picture!
Haha, a lot of people are realising that teaching is hard!!! There was a hilarious meme I saw of a lady crying and saying a public sorry to all the teachers she's ever been rude to!
