My mom baked a lot when I was a kid. Now I love baking. And it looks like the gene was passed on once again. The daughter of justcooknyc baked these for me the other day. She’s been on a banana muffin/bread kick lately. Now I know the answer to the question, “What’s better than having a baker in the house?” Two bakers, of course.
I’m not sure about where the recipe came from, but here’s the note she wrote. (I’m keeping her name confidential because, hey, I’m a dad.) I have a hunch she improvised a little with these muffins, rather than strictly follow the recipe… that’s my girl.

about me
I'm Justin Schwartz, a cookbook guy and occasional food writer, and this blog is about what I'm up to these days. I'm the author of Veg Out Vegetarian Guide to New York City and The Marshmallow Fluff Cookbook. You can email me at justin at justinschwartz.com. I'm also on Instagram.
A lot of the books I write about are ones I've edited, so my opinions are very biased. And if I didn't work on the book, someone probably gave it to me for free. So keep that in mind before you take my word for it. Sometimes I just like to give a shout-out to my friends. And oh yeah, my opinions have nothing to do with my employer...
That was very sweet of your daughter. The muffins look wonderful!
I love anything with banana in them. Those look awesome!

Awww, what a nice gesture for your daughter! Must be great having freshly baked food sitting around the house all the time. Those muffins look delish. And thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm also recovering from the shock that i actually made my own mascarpone!
How sweet! I like that she used pecans instead of walnuts. I bet they were delicious!

What a lovely surprise to come home to. I don't see any reason to complain
) And when there are 2 bakers, you have more to eat and otherwise more to share w/others
