Banana Nut Muffins

I created this recipe a few years ago when I wasn't satisfied with ones I had found. It is now a family favorite and is requested often. My 16 yr. old son loves them so much that he asked me to make them for his high school football team (I made 120 mini loaves)! I hope you enjoy them, too!
