Banana Nut Muffins

 I like a good ole' breakfast muffin that helps me start off the day right!

Otherwise I feel BLAH the rest of the day.

These muffins are 1/2 whole wheat.

They don't have any processed sugars.  

I personally prefer Almond milk which adds a nice flavor!

But you may use any milk you like.

I also prefer baking with olive oil because it has healthier fats.

Again you may use canola oil instead.

I love the pecans because they add a nice texture to the muffins.

All-around healthy Breakfast muffin!

Enjoy!
