Invalid Diet

I am trying to find something to tempt the spousal unit's appetite -- he's not eaten enough to keep a bird alive since coming home from the hospital.  I've got a turkey breast in the crockpot (three sprigs of fresh thyme, half a cup of dry white wine, 1 hour on high and 5 on low) and I just made a double batch of banana muffins.  Bisquick is one of those convenience foods I don't feel in the least bit guilty about using.

Bisquick 'Nanna Muffins

2 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup sugar
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t cardamom
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 T butter, melted
2 very ripe bananas, mashed and squirted with juice of half a lemon to keep them from browning

Beat the egg and melted butter into the milk and add to the dry ingredients.  Stir vigorously for about 30 seconds (don't over-do it.  You'll wind up with tough muffins).

Add the mashed banana and fold it into the batter just until blended.  You can add half a cup of chopped walnuts at this point, if you are not married to someone who doesn't eat nuts.

Put paper cupcake liners into a muffin tin and fill each not quite to the brim with the batter.  Bake for 18 minutes in a preheated 350° oven.  Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before you try to take them out of the tin.  Makes 12.
