Banana date corn cakes

A very 'gritty' muffin, not your usual corn bread, and a great way to use up those brown bananas sitting in your fruit bowl. The taste is surprisingly buttery, despite containing not a trace of butter. Not very sweet, so add more sugar if you prefer ( i don't). Read more Yummy, im gonna have one for breakfast. Freeze any leftovers, bring back to life by wrapping in foil and heating in a low oven for 10-15 minutes See less
