Banana Honey Muffins

I always buy bananas on our weekly grocery shop, some weeks they are eaten up quickly, others they aren’t.  Usually I leave them as long as possible in the fruit bowl and then freeze them for future baking.  I got up early recently and popped a few bananas in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes to defrost then made this recipe, all baked within 20 minutes.  I spooned 6 patty cases with the mixture and then added some walnuts to the remainder of the mix.  I did it this way as the kids can’t have nuts at school, so I have a few school lunchboxes and the others for home.
