Banana and Brown Rice Muffins

I got this recipe from my college roommate, Wendy.
I lost it for years and I recently found it! Yay!
I'm always looking for recipes to use bananas that get too ripe. This is also a great recipe for leftover cooked rice.
These are yummy and a fun alternative to banana bread.

I love to make mini muffins!
