Banana nut muffins

Who doesn’t love a delicious, freshly baked banana nut muffin? It is one of my favorite things! And since muffins are so quick to make, I can stir up the ingredients and have them hot and ready from my toaster oven in about 20 minutes.

All delicious banana muffins start with overripe bananas and this is the perfect recipe to use them up! Or, if they go past the eating stage and you do not have time to bake right away, try freezing them. Peel the bananas and pop them into a freezer bag to always have on hand. Frozen bananas thaw quickly and are super easy to mash.
