About this Recipe
Can you relate to this? You bought a bunch of bananas the other day, but before you know it they’ve turned from “not sure if they’re ripe enough” to “spotty, mushy and overripe”.
What to do?
We asked the same question and decided to give a spin to the traditional egg bite recipe.
These banana egg muffins hit the sweet spot and by adding cottage cheese – are helpful in increasing your daily protein intake too.
