Banana and cinnamon muffins

For these muffins you will need two large overripe bananas, which is why you should never throw away your bruised or blackened bananas, just pop them into the freezer as they are (skin on) to have when you feel the need for this recipe or any other that requires bananas. They look quite gross once defrosted but the flavour is as good as ever!
These muffins are quick to make and yummy yummy yummy!! Great for smoko or to fill a gap in the farmers lunch box
