Mark started making muffins every few days when his work schedule changed late last year. Instead of waking up at 4:30 am to get on the train, he’d wake up with the kids, start the coffee and bake muffins or pancakes. When the kids were with me every morning, breakfast would consist of a rotation of cereal, yogurt, or frozen waffles, with an occasional poached egg. Getting up at 6 am and making breakfast first thing in the morning is not my idea of fun, but Mark’s used to it and it comes naturally for him. This morning was all about using up the over-ripe bananas to make banana muffins. Claudine polished up 2 in one sitting.
