Gluten Free Banana Muffins with Pecan Topping
I recently chatted with my sister who was surprised to see that my blog was missing a banana muffins recipe. She said: where is your recipe for Banana Muffins? Why haven’t you posted it yet? “What are you waiting for? Your muffins are absolutely delicious!”…
I don’t really know why I waited so long to share this recipe. Maybe because there are so many good recipes out there already and no one would be looking for another BANANA MUFFINS recipe?!?!…or Maybe I just needed to prove to myself that these muffins not only look outstanding but also taste great?! But why do people love muffins? The answer is simple. They are easy and quick to make. They taste great and they are perfect for a grab and go snack. My muffins are all that but there are a few more reasons why I love them. Simply, they are of course gluten and dairy free yet delicious, moist and smell divine. But what really makes them so appealing is that nutty maple syrup topping!
Ohh boy!!!! I promise you; you will be making them again! My sister thinks that banana muffins recipe is a must have on a food blog so here you are my friends! I present you my very own…. BANANA MUFFINS RECIPE!!!
