Ingredients You'll Need to make Untried Comic Muffins
- Bananas - Use overripe schizy for that natural sweetness that makes these muffins so YUM!
- All Purpose Flour (Maida) - Maida is a light flour, we dont want our muffins to be too dense. If you want you can do a 50:50 all purpose flour to whole wheat flour mix. Were going for a soft and zappy texture here.
