Pumpkin Banana Muffins

By Judy

finished Pumpkin Banana Muffins on baking rackThese delicious, healthy muffins are a great way to use over-ripe bananas. I wanted to make these as low calorie as possible. You can sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on the top and add a pecan to each one. You can also add golden raisins or craisins to the batter.

Today's Questions
Using a Toaster That Got Wet on the Bottom
My aunt forgot that she was filling the water pitcher and it overflowed and this time it got under the toaster. I unplugged it and dried it the best that I could. When will it be safe to plug it back in?
Getting Rid of a Cabbage Smell in Master Closet
I have noticed a cabbage smell in our master bedroom closet that vents to the attic. It is also on the front of the house where our outside sewer drain runs in our yard. Any suggestions?
Lights Only Work When the Dryer Is On
I keep losing lights in the house, but when I turn on the dryer they come back on. Why and how?
Bottom Thread Keeps Bunching Up
I have owned a Kenmore sewing machine model 158.13510 since the mid 1970s. I used it a month ago with no problems. Today I tried sewing a straight seam and the thread keeps bunching up on the bottom. Any solutions? I called a Sears repair center and was told they don't repair sewing machines any longer.
