I am well enough to bake. I tried, while on my sick-bed, to think of the perfect desert for the sick person, but due to my utter lack of energy and lack of appetite, I finally realized there isn't one. In any case, I thought I'd start on my way to full recovery with something easy: cupcakes.

About this recipe: Overall very easy to put together. I didn't have quite enough honey so I added a little hot water to the honey I had and called it even. Otherwise all was well as far as ingredients. The batter came together no problem and I divided it among paper lined cups. I got a total of 16 muffins out of this batch.

The result: a moist, fluffy muffin that had a nice sweetness and flavor from the honey and a pleasing crunch from the oats. I'm a little stuffed up so I didn't taste much banana but my roomie assures me that there was lots o'banana.
