I love these muffins.This recipe came from Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) and it is one of those never fail me recipes.I make these for holidays,for friends and as a special treat for the boys. The granola in them is so good.My favorite granola for these is Kellogg's Low Fat Granola without raisins.But any granola makes this recipe.Great for lunch boxes and after school snacks.

Ohhh, they look so delicious, I adore anything baked with bananas, I'll be sending this recipe to my lovely baking friend so she can make some (I am sadly rubbish at baking, but very, very good at eating cakes, muffins etc!) oh and she loves baking, so I'm not being *entirely* selfish here!
