Banana Nut Muffins

Growing up, my mom would frequently make banana nut bread using the over-ripe bananas that we refused to eat. And soon we learned to avoid eating the last 4 bananas to ensure that mom would make the bread for us! But bread is sometimes a challenge to manage if you don’t have enough people to eat it up, and especially if you need to eat it on the go. Although, you can freeze leftovers or make our banana bread french toast recipe, we love the option of making Banana Nut Muffins for a grab-n-go snack!

Enjoy!
