Very moist and full of flavor! We really enjoyed these a lot. I baked them in muffin papers since that keeps them fresher when eaten over a few days. The kids thought they were the best banana nut muffins we've ever tried. Thanks for posting!

I agree with Mallory--these are excellent! I love the subtle nutmeg flavor and the addition of almond extract. The muffins are light with a nice moist texture. Thank you for sharing!
