Nuts for Bananas Healthy Muffin Recipe
Nuts for Bananas Healthy Muffins
These super moist muffins are healthy and toddler/kid friendly banana nut muffins. Muffins are great to make ahead and freeze in an air tight bag, take them out and thaw for a busy morning or pop some in the oven to serve warm. You can also individually wrap them in plastic for an easy on-the-go breakfast.
These nutrient rich banana nut muffins are delicious when served warm right out of the oven, but even better with a smear of almond or peanut butter.
