My kids and I are always in need of a pick-me-up snack in the afternoon. These healthy banana walnut muffins are sure to satisfy that hunger. They are incredibly moist, packed with nutrition and amazing flavours. These muffins also work great for a breakfast on the go.
You can easily make these muffins dairy free with the use of almond milk, and nut free if you swap the walnuts for pumpkin seeds.
I am excited for you to try.
