Banana Nut Muffins

January 27, 2017 By denise Leave a Comment

Perfectly light banana nut muffins make the perfect breakfast or anytime snack. The extra bite of crunch with the pecans take these over the top.

This past weekend I went on a baking frenzy. Five recipes in one day. I guess that comes from not having a football team to root for in the playoffs anymore. Wah!!!!!

Anyhoo, two of the recipes were no-go’s but of the three I took into my taste testers, ahem my coworkers, they each had their favorites. Each one picked a different treat as their favorite and they all said that one was the best treat I had brought in to date. I’m not even kidding. As I would walk by one office, one would stop me to rave about what they had just eaten. And each person had different reactions to each treat. Isn’t it funny how everyone has different tastes.

When I mentioned to my boss that I was bringing in banana bread on Monday, I thought he was going to jump for joy. He even requested I bring in butter for him. I don’t make banana bread or banana nut muffins often, but when I do I scold myself for not making them a weekly treat.

Do you love bananas? I do but they have to be just right. Yellow – maybe a tiny hint of green. No dark spots – maybe a teeny tiny one will do. And once they start turning brown and smelling, I just can’t handle it.

That’s when I start thinking about banana bread. Oh how I love the taste of banana nut muffins. Warm banana nut muffins with butter. Oh. My.

Most of the time though my bananas get chunked. For some reason the thought of yucky bananas in the freezer just makes me go yuck. I need to suck it up and live with it because I don’t want to be wasteful.

I already have a favorite Nutella Banana Nut Muffins on the blog that is swirled with Nutella but this one may be right up there with that one. This here banana bread from Tyler Florence worked amazingly. I cut the ingredients in half and it still made 10 regular size muffins. I’m telling you, you need to make this. Really.
