Did you know that Jonathan Lipnicki is 21 years old now?
Who the heck is Jonathan Lipnicki?
The human head weighs 8 pounds.
Oh…..that kid from Jerry Maguire!
There was a story about him NOW on Yahoo. The human head may weigh 8 pounds, but I’m more interested in that SIX PACK!! What?!?!
The secret to his rockin’ abs??
Banana Muffins
Okay, that’s totally not true. But it worked as a segue!!
Banana Muffins
Recipe from Brown Eyed Baker
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3-4 ripe mashed bananas
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside. In another bowl, add the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat together to mix. Stir in the mashed bananas to your wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Stir just until blended.
Line your muffin tins with paper liners. Divide the batter into the liners. Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Test for doneness with a toothpick to see that no crumbs are attached. Transfer muffins to a wire rack and cool slightly.
Makes about 15-18 muffins. Serve warm or cooled. Serve for breakfast or dessert.
I prefer my banana muffins for breakfast, before I hit the gym to work on my own 6 pack abs! Or before I sit in front of a computer for 10 hours. One or the other I’m sure.








I love the beautiful pock-marked texture on these. Absolutely perfect for spreading butter or jam!
I heart banana muffins. Thanks for the recipe. Ummm holy moly that can not be the same kid. WOW
Wow! You could grate cheese on that stomach!I need a lot of muffins to get rid of my muffin top! Thanks for sharing.
Haha hilarious!
You are so funny! hahaha, I love it. On a related random note, I just saw Captain America tonight (Palace) and was similarly amazed by how the shrimp turned into such a stud. I’m pretty sure they had to somehow put his head on another body for the first part of the movie b/c there’s no way those two bodies were related. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend–it’s great. Hey you know what else is super cool? I made banana muffins today too.
YUM!
Wow — it’s almost, like, wrong or something when cute little kids grow up to be super hot. Like how Neville from Harry Potter got hot (not that I’m a big HP fan, but I saw photos and read the buzz about how he went from awkward to smokin’ — again: weird)!
These banana muffins look great, though — lovely and puffy and none of that over-oxidized banana brownness in sight!
Ha, I’m not with any of the HP stuff. But I’m sure it’s similar to the whole Jacob from Twilight thing getting H O T after the first movie. I can totally support that transformation though.
LOL…Julie…love the segue! I can’t believe that cute little kid is grown! But I do believe your banana muffins will give me six pack abs….so I’m definitely going to try them. ;- }
