Are you looking for a somewhat healthy breakfast muffin that you can eat in the mornings and feel good about all day long? Let me introduce you to my very favorite (like -I have made 4 times this month omg good -favorite) recipe for Banana Muffins.
Banana Nut Muffins
I had to tweak the recipe because I did not have any wheat germ and my local IGA didn’t have any. So a quick google later I learned that ground or milled flax seed would be a good substitute and boy it was!
These delicious darlings are not uber-sweet, but instead super satisfying. I love all the texture and the banana-nut flavor. Sometimes I switch out the vanilla extract with my very favorite almond extract and it takes the flavor to a whole new level.
This recipe makes a hearty dozen but could easily be made into 18 servings with a tad less heft. They are also freezer friendly if I could ever get a batch in the freezer before Miss Add and I eat them all!
I know the ingredient list looks like a lot but I promise I whip these up and throw them in the oven in less than 10 minutes.
