Banana Butterscotch Muffins

Teresa Ambra
Banana Butterscotch Muffins are nothing short of amazing! These glorious muffins include bananas and applesauce to keep the muffins moist, and butterscotch chips to add that spark of flavor. Every bite is mouthwatering and irresistible. Terrific for a weekend, company or holiday breakfast or brunch menu. Also great snacks for tailgating parties and potlucks.
