While my husband and I ended up being away for far longer than expected, our daughters did some baking. Along with the now regular baking of 4 loaves of sourdough bread, they made sourdough banana bread muffins with chocolate chips, modifying a recipe they found for banana bread online.
It was a marvelous treat to come home to!
