Moist banana muffins crowned with a honey-sweetened mascarpone cream frosting? That’s a reason to get out of bed 30 minutes earlier on the weekend to whip these up!
Let’s quit acting like muffins are any but a reason to eat cake for breakfast. Sure, there are healthy muffins, but how often is that what you’re reaching for when you bake or buy muffins from a bakery? Uh, never. Sorry, healthy muffins, I’m sure someone loves you.
This is a Giada DeLaurentiis recipe, in which she states that these will supposedly garner marriage proposals if you serve them to your boo. Let me know if that works for you…I’m skeptical! For now, I’ll just eat them all myself.
You can sub cream cheese for the mascarpone if you can’t find it in your local grocery store, or if you’re just dying to make these RIGHT NOW and don’t have any. I’m in the camp of “I always have mascarpone and cream cheese and crème fraîche and 15 different kinds of cheese and every dairy product you could ever need in the fridge” but I understand there are more dairy-reasonable people out there. The flavor will be a little more tangy and the texture a little less luxurious, but they will still be outstanding and you will not be sad you made them. Happy baking!
