In between recovering and catching up on Weeds episodes, I may have made some absolutely wonderful banana bread muffins.

I discovered I don’t have a loaf pan (??), so I had to improvise when I was hit with a last minute banana bread craving. Side note: how do I not have a loaf pan? I have everything that could ever conceivably be in a kitchen, but not a loaf pan? I suppose I am more of a cook than a baker. However, I keep hitting gold with vegan baking.

I made these last night. They’re already gone.
