I made these to go in a Welcome, Baby Boy! Meal that I put together for a friend who just delivered this week.

 

In case you’re here for ideas, here’s what else I put in the goody bag, incidentally, vegetarian:

• loaf of pane rustico
• 2 fuji apples
• 2 mozzarella string cheese sticks
• French sparkling lemonade
• steamed broccoli with grated parmesan
• black beans+cherry tomato+spices+sweet onion+corn salad
• truffles: dark chocolate mocha & dark chocolate, peanut butter, salted caramel
• homemade basil pesto pasta

• plate of these muffins

• and this homemade, DIY card

I wanted these to walk the line between moist banana bread, and have the sweet cake taste that makes these a treat. Yum!
