Banana Orange Muffins

Banana Orange Muffins wasn’t at all what I intended to make today. I was going to make my Pecan Muffins (with lots of fruit) but I didn’t have most of the ingredients. Now, I never run out of cinnamon as I always try to have backups of everything. You know, put the item on the grocery list before you actually run out. But here I was even out of cinnamon.
Caveat: These are not real sweet, so if you want them sweeter, add more sugar.
