Man, this song brings my back to 8th grade when I made my mom stop at K-Mart on Thanksgiving so I could buy this CD. And even to this day, I am no hollaback girl. Cause that shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
Let me set the scene: as I arrived home from the grocery store with fresh produce, I stepped foot into my extremely small kitchen to see some starving bananas. They were soft, droopy, and presented with brown spots, indicating their time to enter the banana retirement community. And as I thought for one single second to throw them away, I changed my mind. As I looked those bananas in the eye, I felt a sense of pity, of defeat, that I had let these bananas down by not eating them and instead buying younger, more satisfying produce. And that's when I realized the true purpose of these old people bananas: Banana muffins.
And what's one more challenge at 9:30pm, so I decided to make them vegan. Instead of butter, I used vegetable oil and instead of using eggs, I used applesauce. These muffins are chocolately (cause I added dark chocolate chips), sweet, moist, and most of all B-A-N-A-N-A-S. They are perfect for the breakfast on-the-go or an afternoon snack.
