Banana Muffins

     Found a recipe which works well to bring in for your child's "class treat".  My four year old is in a preschool class that has a child who is dairy free.  Tried it and it came out tasting really good.  I find that if I replace the butter with applesauce it can get too mushy and taste different.  BUT...... if it is a small amount, such as 1/3 a cup, it all comes together.  I found it on one of my "Go to" recipe sites http://www.allrecipes.com/
