Make use of those frozen bananas in your freezer (I know you have some) with these banana nut muffins. The bananas in the recipe keep these muffins fresh and moist for days to come while the walnuts provide a satisfying crunch.
When I make these in a big batch, I’m handing them out to all my friends and family who I am camping with. They make for easy and filling snacks between meals, especially while out on the trails.
Baking Tip: use overripe bananas for maximum, delicious banana flavour.
