Recipe for Our Delicious Walnut Banana Muffins!

These muffins are extremely easy to make and are very nutritious!

Why did we choose this recipe?

We chose to make banana muffins because they are very fast and easy to make. They don’t require any special kitchen tools and they don’t take many ingredients either. Also, they’re very beginner-friendly because to make them, they don’t require any difficult baking techniques and most ingredients that required are already owned by many people in their house. In addition, we really like the taste of banana muffins. They also have an ingredient from each recommended group from Canada’s food guide. The bananas are fruits, the flour and oats are grains, and the walnuts are plant-based protein.

Our feedback!

We would likely eat this snack in the future because its easy to make with most ingredients available at home already. This snack is also relatively healthy, mess free and not too heavy, in fact it is light and fluffy. In actual fact, later that night, at 10:00 pm, Veronica decided to make another batch which shows that these muffins are absolutely delicious and mouthwatering.
