A new take on classic banana bread. For these banana muffins, I took my inspiration from the cool autumnal weather and jazzed up the recipe with chai tea and cinnamon. As the muffins are very easy and quick to make, I also use this recipe during the week when I'm short on time and fancy something sweet.
