She goes a bit over budget at 1.60 per day, but still a great source of inspiration and very well done! Sadly enough the main reason it looks like she goes so over budget is two eggs per day cost so much these days.

Banana muffins (32 cents)
1 Cup Self rising flour (15 cents) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z7C6FVK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
1 Banana (15 cents)
Teaspoon of sugar (idk, 1 cent? 2?)
I blended a ripe banana in a cup of water, then mixed it into the self rising flour along with a bit of sugar.
Put in muffin pan with small amount of cooking spray.
Baked at 425 F for 13 minutes
4/10 plain, I would say a costco banana nut muffin is a 7/10. So obviously worse than any store bought banana muffin, but not offensive by any means. If I was craving muffins this would certainly count.
Hot with margarine and it was pretty good. I feel like cinnamon sugar butter would probably have gone well.

Breaks rule 1, but I wanted to share as this is the video that got me into limited budget meals in the first place. As far as I understand he follows the constraints from the community, but he didn't calculate the costs of exceedingly low cost things like water and individual teaspoons of things like spice.

Banana Pancakes (30 cents)
1 Cup Self rising flour (15 cents) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z7C6FVK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
1 Banana (15 cents)
Mush a ripe or slightly over ripe banana into 1 cup self rising flour. Add water and mix until batter texture.
Cook like pancakes
3/10 plain.
Not super inspiring eaten plain, edible, but far more mild than I expected, and texture is, expectedly, not perfect.
Just fine as a vessel to carry jelly/butter/syrup to you though. Maybe a teaspoon of sugar would have helped.
