Simple Breakfast Banana Nut Muffins

2.2K

Old bananas? Make these muffins! I used my Sugar Crusted Banana Bread recipe to make these super simple banana nut muffins. I love how easy they are, all made in one bowl. Each muffin is moist and full of banana flavor! I used walnuts, but feel free to add in your favorite nuts to this recipe.

My recipe adds more bananas in it so you really get a ton of banana flavor. You can also make this recipe vegan by replacing the butter with vegan butter or almond oil. I love adding walnuts on the top to add to the overall crunch of the muffin. Any nuts will add great texture to this, but I highly suggest walnuts.

Make these ahead and freeze them too! They can sit in your freezer for about a month. Reheat them in the oven or toaster to have a warm muffin for breakfast. Also, you don’t have to eat these just for breakfast. Enjoy them as a simple dessert or to start your day!
