I cannot be the only one who gets super excited about ripe bananas sitting on the counter, right? The possibilities are endless when it comes to all of the delicious ways you can use them! These Banana Nut Muffins are my go-to muffin recipe.

My kids just love it when I bake Banana Nut Muffins! They’re perfect as a snack after school or a quick breakfast on the go in the morning.

Besides being naturally sweet thanks to the ripened bananas, my banana nut muffins have a lovely crunch to them because of the walnuts.

This recipe makes about a dozen muffins. I use a cookie scoop to fill the liners evenly. Top each muffin with a few extra nuts for a tasty crunch on the muffin tops!

Sometimes when my kids are bored, I let them bake and this is an easy recipe for the kids to try their hand at. I like to keep some homemade muffins in my freezer.

Yes, this banana nut recipe freezes great! Just add the muffins to a freezer bag after they’ve cooled off. They’ll keep for about 6 months.
