This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes. These muffins are packed with carbs for energy, just enough sweetness to feel like they’re a splurge, and to top it all off they have nuts for protein. It’s a healthy breakfast treat that tastes like a dessert. Trust me, you’ll thank me for this recipe!

I’m not sure, we usually eat them too fast to worry about it. Are you going to call them Embracing Homemaking’s Banana Nut Muffins? 😉

Just tried this recipe and it was a hit! Didn’t have walnuts and used almond silvers and it came out just as great. I was wondering can you freeze these and how long will it last in the freezer. Thank you so very much!
