    Banana, brown sugar and pecan muffins

    "Bananas are the ultimate snack, full of energy-giving phosphorus, plus potassium and iron - and you don't end up with sticky hands when you eat them. Once you've exposed the flesh to the air, the fruit goes brown quickly, so squeeze over lemon juice to prevent this."
