Banana Muffins

I have a craving for a banana muffin right now. Unfortunately, I am out of them. The photo included here is from an earlier baking session. I just have to focus on something else. It is not the sweet stuff that is missing around here. I have plenty of them in the house. Soon, I will be making a herbal tea for myself and then will decide what will be my sweets. I have a big sweet tooth unfortunately, do you too?

At times, it varies really Marlina. I think I am more a salty person as in cheese. I hope you find a nice sweet treat there for yourself this day.

Yes, I have a big sweet tooth and you reminded me that I have finished the muffins I baked this morning. I should go down and work in the kitchen.

@marlina I try not to eat too many sweets, but I have a muffin (or something similar) every morning and a piece of chocolate while I watch the TV. Today I skipped lunch to have a slice of Black Forest cake. It was good.

I love banana muffins but I am not a big sweet person. I have a problem with salty snacks like chips.

I do but I don't like sweet things for breakfast, I would rather just have oatmeal or toast.

Especially when all the sweet stuff is around (like holiday season), I can't help but shove them in my mouth - more than usual. Funny - and today we intend on baking more stuff !

Its been a very long time since I made banana muffins. I do like them too. But I tend to want sweets at night for some reason.

Yes and no, both at the same time! I use to be a bottomless pit, for sugary doughnuts and pie. Now, I really don't care whether I eat them or not. Since I gave up sugary foods, because of diabetes, my taste buds have changed, almost completely. I really don't miss them at all!

@marlina I haven't completely given up sugar and include a small portion every single day. Nope, I never miss getting it in large portions.

I don't, but that photo of yours reminded me that I have some carrot cakes in the fridge. (Let hope the container with the cake is still there. I remember hiding it in a corner!)

@marlina It was made special for me, I love it (or the carrots in it!). However, I know one of my relatives here also like it (and he was very lazy in eating fruits and veggies). When he left the last few slices left, I thought that was a sign that he had eaten as much as he wanted and the rest would & should be mine (hence the hiding in case he changed his mind ). By the way, I found the container with the last two slices.
