Banana and Coffee Flavored Whole Wheat Muffins


Most of the blogs i have visited doesn't have a multiple versions of one dish, so i want this blog have variety of options on muffins. I personally find easy to make muffins and in my opinion muffins are delicious treats. I would like the visitor have variety of options in this blog so it will save them searching on the internet or the cookbooks for recipes. I am planning to add sweet and savory muffin recipes to the blog and hopefully we will have a database of muffin recipes in a month or so.

The other day i was going through the recipes at the Minimalist column in NYT. If you read my previous posts you would guess i am a big fan of this column and i usually try the recipes given in minimalist column. I like how the videos are simple and short and i also like the way it has been presented by Mr. Bittman; I mean he is so natural and he is not trying to sell the recipe. When i was roaming around the videos i found the whole wheat muffin recipe and i decided to try it. It turned beteer than i thought here is the recipe:
