banana apple bran muffins

in case you are a new reader let me disclose first and foremost: i am pretty damn good at cooking.  baking on the other hand, is my kryptonite.  often there is much yelling and flailing and anger ensues when the resulting product is raw in the middle, falls from glorious heights, burned, or just plain disgusting. 

however, by some random happenstance, i found a recipe to use up our overripe bananas and apples and it not only is relatively healthy, but tastes pretty frikkin good!
