My Main Muffins

Sharing the Good!

I make these muffins often and freeze them by the dozen. I’ll pull 1-2 out of the freezer, microwave them for 25 seconds, slice them in half, and then toast them. I always make sure to have the ingredients in my pantry. They are high in fiber so they help you poop, especially with a cup of coffee! You can also make them gluten-free depending on which flour you choose to include.

It’s always a great idea to buy a bunch of bananas each time you grocery shop. Eat some fresh, use some for these muffins, and freeze a few for “nice”-cream!

My Main Muffins

This muffin recipe is inspired by Inspired by Esselstyn’s Badass Banana Bread. I typically substitute seasonal ingredients and mix-ins.
