These sound like good ideas to me. I made some banana muffins the other day and decided to add some lemon extract to brighten up the flavor. Unfortunately, I used a bit too much in the batter. I said "oops" when I added it in.. Hee hee. The batch tasted like lemon muffins, not banana. It was still good eats.
