Lovin' Muffins

 I haven't cooked anything sinful in a while.  These muffins I created are just that...without all the sin :)  Yummy, moist and flavorful.  I had a lot of bananas that were getting pretty brown and in a fit of genius came up with this great muffin for anytime of day, but would be wonderful for a brunch.  You may add any topping you like or change the fruit.  Please note I substituted applesauce for oil but if you have none, use vegetable oil instead. I figured these were fit for a king and just the flavors Elvis loved....Thank you, thank you very much!
