Banana Nut Muffins

Williamson Family Rating: 4.5

My friend Lindsey sent me this recipe for Banana Nut Muffins. I just made them. YUM! They are full of protein, good whole grain, and I'm excited to let Ellie Jane try one in the morning.

*Basic Muffin Recipe
2 1/4 cups whole grain flour (freshly milled if possible)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 cup oil (I use coconut oil, since it's so good for you)
1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup
.
*Banana-Nut Messies: Add to above recipe
2-3 mashed bananas
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
I added 1 T sour cream and 2 T flax meal

Measure dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Add liquids and mix just until well blended. Drop by spoonfuls into greased 12 cup muffin or 24 cup mini muffin pan.

*Basic Recipe: Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes
*Banana-Nute Recipe: Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes
Smooth some butter over it while warm. You can't eat just one. Your house smells amazing too while baking.
