Banana Muffins

I was a tad bit disppointed in the other day in that my son did not want any of the blueberry muffins (from mix) that I made. This is a boy who eats anything and yet, he did not want any! :'(
I therefore vowed to make another batch of muffins (from mix, of course) and have him try some. He loved the banana muffins from Pillsbury! Thank heavens for cake mixes!
You should know that I am not a baking person and am one of them who can screw up even a cake mix recipe, so for two batches to come out great is something worth writing about!
This batch of muffins was made from the blue Pillsbury box. One thing I noticed differently from the blueberry muffin "recipe" was that this one needed milk (instead of water). I specifically chose the mix that did not come with nuts, because I knew I can not give nuts to my son yet (he's only 14 months old).
These banana muffins came out very moist and it was so easy to make. I guess that's the purpose of the mixes, right? D-uh!!! The whole prepping and baking process took less than 1/2 an hour to make. I used up so few dishes, one would be silly not to go for cake mixes. I don't even care to make things such as these from scratch, because the mixes tend to come out better tasting, cost-effective, and it's a breeze!
So, the next time you crave baking? Reach for the cake mixes for convenience, cost, and no-frills, almost perfect home-made goodness.
