Recipe Box | Banana Bread Muffin | First Birthday Cake Alternitive

We decided to do a first birthday cake Alternitive bacause Vienna is so new to trying foods and we didn't want to overload her system with cake. I love a good muffin to splurge on so we made some delicious banana bread muffins and they were a hit! Kidos loved that they were personal sized and the whipped cream made it messy and fun for everyone to watch!
