Banana Orange Muffincake is one of my favorite ways to use overly ripe bananas. I confess to being a recipe clipper and have had this recipe from Quaker Oats for many years. I’ve baked it often - it’s healthy, not too sweet, and tastes great. I usually make this in a round pan but have made muffins for an on-the-go breakfast you won’t need to feel guilty about.
