Banana-Nut Muffins
Banana-Nut Muffins
Today’s recipe is from Great American Home Baking Card #6. Easy, fast, tasty. Easy to make with 10 minutes prep time and quick to bake in just 15-18 minutes. These banana-nut muffins are moist and tasty. Buttermilk makes the bread moist and pecans add a sweet taste. (If you don’t have buttermilk, make it by adding 1 Tablespoon of Organic apple cider vinegar to 1 Cup of Organic whole milk.) Buttermilk not only adds moistness, but also has probiotics which aid in digestion. Great for breakfast on the go! Also, makes a great lunch box treat! This recipe is a keeper!!
