These healthy muffins are great for either breakfast or a snack. There is no added sugar, but the healthy fats from the nuts will keep you satiated for hours. The sweetness comes from overripe bananas, which also provide fiber and potassium to help your body carry out natural processes.

Grab one of these muffins as you are running out the door in the morning, put them in kids’ lunches, or munch on it to avoid the afternoon slump. The ingredients in this recipe will keep your body feeling great and your tastebuds will thank you.
