These muffins are rich and filled with lots of "stuff."

I made the Barefoot Contessa's Banana Crunch Muffins this morning! Ina says these make 18 cupcakes, but I got 24! One cup of mashed bananas are added to the mix and one diced banana is folded in with all the goodies...

Goodies include walnuts, coconut and my homemade granola.

Although these certainly aren't health food (2 sticks of butter negate that! :), these are a tasty brunch muffin. Ina suggests topping them with dried banana chips, granola or coconut but I skipped that. You can find the recipe on the Food Network/Barefoot Contessa website.

It was a very sweet day at work! We had these muffins in the morning and the lemon cheesecake in the afternoon. Sugar high Monday at the library! ;)
