Banana Macadamia Nut Muffins

Submitted by appleydapply

"These are delicious with macadamia nuts, but are also very good with the more traditional pecans or walnuts. This recipe is less sweet than some muffin recipes - which I think makes them perfect for breakfast. Try them plain, or cut in half and toast in a toaster oven with butter."

Mmm! These are so good! I was looking for a banana nut muffin recipe using whole wheat flour and this one hit the spot. I used pecans and canola oil (that's what I had on hand) and added a dash of vanilla extract for flavor. I also cut the oil in half (1/4 cup) and sprinkled some oats on top. They came out great!

I was worried about the thick, lumpy batter, but you were right, they turn out! I made mine with pecans but I am making them with macadamias next. A nice change from the basic banana muffin!

What a nice breakfast muffin! I loved the flavor of the nuts with the bananas. I added some coconut to mine for some Hawaiian flair. Delicious! Thanks for sharing with us Appley! Made for Zaar Stars 12/2008 Linda

Very moist, flavorful banana muffin. Used pecans and a little cinnamon. Mine didn't rise much, but they were good anyway. Made for bevy tag.

These are DELICIOUS !! I made mine with walnuts. NO adjustments were made in this for me. They turned out great. I wil try these again, except with pecans next time. Made for beverage tag.
