Banana Nut Muffins

Banana Nut Muffins – healthy breakfast muffins, full of walnuts, banana, oats and whole wheat flour.

One can never have too many breakfast muffin recipes. Even though they are tasty like a dessert, they are also full of healthy ingredients like oats, whole wheat flour, walnuts and banana.

The other thing I like about them is that you can prepare them once and then you have your breakfast ready for next several days.

Banana Nut Muffins are great with a glass of orange juice, milk, cocoa or a cup of coffee. If you want them even richer, you can cut them in half, spread a little nut butter or nutella and top with a few slices of fresh banana.
