Let’s talk about the day so far. It’s 8:50am MST. I’ve been up for 7 hours, flown 900 miles to Colorado, and driven 2 rental cars (1 had to be returned for a bad tire). I am 55 minutes late to work and have a 2 hour drive to another place this afternoon. On the bright side, I am equipped with 1 candy necklace. Still winning. Also, mountains!

The bananas in my house never make it long.  This time, I saw they were mushy, so while I made dinner, I made muffins.  What's important here, if you don't like to bake, is that you don't let the responsibility of everyone else's expectations overtake your sense of "I got this."

Dump all of the following into a bowl and whip it by hand with a whisk until it's lumpy, but the lumps are not flour, they're bananas and oats.  Pour into muffin cups and bake at 400 until golden brown (12-15 mins; keep an eye on them).  Serve!

<<< I'm pointing to the resultant muffins, on my actual countertop
