W The last time we got bananas we went out of town on a small trip...guess what the bananas did when we were not around. They got ripe and started getting their skin all brown and sad. So...no one will touch them. Hence I had to go hunting for recipes to use up those yummy sweet ripe bananas. So I found this banana muffin recipe and I modified it just a tad bit and made it more healthy and it turned out super delicious.
Ragi which is Finger Millet is supposed to have quite a bit of health benefits. Also I like it. It has a bit of sweet after taste to it. Also this is a vegetarian recipe...no egg
