Happy Monday! How are you guys hanging in there?? Yesterday we decided to keep ourselves busy with some cooking and baking… he made the most delicious slow cooker chili, and I made these oh-so-good banana bran muffins. I made a dozen, six with walnuts, and six with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Not only are these muffins easy to make, they require ingredients that I bet most of you already have at home. We will be enjoying them in the morning and afternoon, slightly toasted, with marmalade on top (for me!), and butter for him. 🙂

Feliz lunes! ¿Cómo están? Ayer decidimos entretenernos cocinando un poco… él hizo una receta de frijoles de cocción lenta, y yo preparé estos muffins de banana que me encantan. Hice una docena, seis con nueces y seis con chocolate. Estos muffins no solo son fáciles de hacer, sino que requieren ingredientes que la mayoría de ustedes seguro ya tienen en casa. Los disfrutaremos por la mañana y por la tarde, tostados, con un poco de mermelada encima (¡para mí!), y mantequilla para él. 🙂

Hope you guys enjoy these muffins as much as we do. By the way, who else eats bran flakes? I’ve been eating them for years, usually in the morning, I mix them with vanilla Greek yogurt. My fiancé says they taste a bit like cardboard (ha!), but they are jam-packed with tons of nutrients that are needed for a complete breakfast…
