Now that Halloween is over, it’s time to face the facts. The holidays are upon us, and they’ll be coming up quicker than you want. But with the holidays comes all of the great food. This recipe for Peanut Butter and Banana Muffins will give you that quick heartwarming fix that will ease your transition into the season.

• ¾ cup all purpose flour
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
