Papaya Muffins

I never baked with papaya before, but I looked up a recipe since I had papaya that was about to go bad if I didn't eat or do something with them, and luckily I found a very easy Papaya Muffins recipe.

The recipe I found used a lemon glaze, but I decided to just top the muffins with crushed walnuts instead.  I also made them in both regular and mini sizes (I just love mini muffins!).

The kids loved the muffins, and have been eating them for both breakfast and snack!
