This muffin in the photo was made with blackberries, but I tested with blueberries and raspberries and liked those variations too (photo of that after the jump). There …

The Cherry Pie didn’t work out so well, but I still managed to bake up a treat this afternoon thanks to some over-ripe banana and a recipe with interesting proportions.
