Pecan Banana Muffins
These pecan banana muffins are super moist and soft. Loaded with bits and pieces of pecans to give them a perfect nutty flavor! Perfect for breakfast, a snack or dessert!
If you have a few over ripened bananas sitting on your counter, make these pecan banana muffins! They are soft, moist, sweet, nutty and just perfect!
Bananas are awesome to bake with. They create a nice, moist and dense texture in almost anything you use them to bake with. Not to mention they are naturally sweet, so you don’t need to add a ton of sugar to the recipe!
My favorite part of any muffin is the top. It’s always the moistest part of the muffin! Also, I need to apologize to anyone who is sensitive to the word “moist”. Unfortunately it is a very commonly used name when it comes to being or cooking!…
If you don’t like pecans, or nuts in general, you can leave them out or use walnuts!
