Banana Walnut Muffins

Carol Food

I love a good muffin that doesn’t have too much fat.  I also love banana bread with its moist, rich texture and taste.  Today I’m sharing muffins made with ripe bananas and a sprinkle of walnuts.  If you can’t eat walnuts, like my sister, add pecans. They’re always delicious.  One of the things I love about muffins is they are great for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert with less fat and sugar than cupcakes.  You can’t go wrong.

  2. I have all of these ingredients in my kitchen right now which is a rare thing for me! I might just whip up a pan of muffins this afternoon for us to enjoy with a cuppa!

  4. Before Covid when I went to the store myself, I would get just the amount of bananas I would need so they wouldn’t get too soft. But since, the bananas come in bunches and by the time I near the end of a bunch, it’s a little dicey! This will be a wonderful recipe for those last three!

    1. I’ve halfed banana bunches most of my life as I like them just ripe. When they’re really ripe I have to make banana bread or muffins!
