Banana Nut Muffins

When I was a kid, I thought banana nut was the grossest thing I’ve ever heard of. But as I realized banana nut was just banana bread with nuts in it, I came around. Now, when I see a banana nut muffin, I get excited. There’s something about banana nut that feels like fall to me too. I have no idea why. Is it the old bananas? The cinnamon? The chopped nuts? No idea. But here we are - fall + banana nut muffins.

I love these muffins because they are a great way to use up old bananas and they are great meal prep for breakfast. They are also super easy.
