Sweet Potato Banana Muffins

It's been a while since a banana has sat in our fruit bowl long enough to become overripe. For a long time, we actually had to hide bananas from Caitlin because anytime she saw one, she would go crazy until she got it!  But, she's moved on to obsessing over grapes since then, so we're back to the occassional banana problem. 

Last weekend we locked ourselves at home to do 3-day potty-training, so we spent some time in the kitchen baking.  I found a recipe that used 3 ripe bananas and a sweet potato. I just happened to have an extra of those, too, so this recipe was perfect - I didn't need to leave the house!

The muffins came out very moist with a nice Fall flavor. I can definitely taste the sweet potato and banana in them. It has become the breakfast of choice this week for Caitlin...and since she has practically eaten the entire batch herself, I am happy to say she ate a sweet potato this week. That's big.
