If you’re adding a topping, the NuttZo Seven Nut & Seed Butter is flavor perfection. The creaminess and the crunch of the nuts and seeds go wonderfully with the texture and flavor of the muffins.

I’ve made a lot of similar recipes using banana and nuts, just not with oat bran. I absolutely love the combination of banana and nut. I would like to make protein squares from scratch.
I have a friend who cannot eat gluten who would really love this recipe. I’m going to share it with her and ask her to make some of these muffins for me too.
You were right! The images made me feel totally hungry!
It is 6 am here and all shops are still closed, so my biggest dream is to have a banana muffin!

I LOVE bananas in baked goods! Almost more than fresh ones. Okay more than fresh bananas.
Yum! It might be gluten free but it looks as delicious as it could! I love banana.
So many yummy looking ways to start the day. I love the portability of muffins and I love banana! I’m going to have to try this recipe.
These look AWESOME! I love anything with banana in it, but my kids tend to eat bananas so fast we never have ripe enough ones to make anything. Once in a while I will get a few. We are oatmeal people, my kids eat it every day. Sometimes muesli, but most often oatmeal with milk and bananas and walnuts. I definitely want to try these muffins though, I love muffins.
If I have all the ingredients, I am going to make these right here, right now for breakfast! Thanks for sharing Jill!
So hungry! Thanks for sharing I will definitely be trying out this recipe!
These look so DELISH and of course I love the Nuttzo topping…I’m definitely going to post these on the Nuttzo site, so keep an eye out for it! XOXO
I LOVE Banana flavoured bakes so i’m going to give these a try as they look so so yum!! Thank you for a great recipe, as usual ! 🙂 x
What a great link up. The banana walnut muffins look so delicious! I can’t wait to try your recipe.
Yes I’m hungry now! These sound amazing! Dave can’t have walnuts so these are all for me!!
my son loves banana bread and eats it for breakfast most days. I have not tried oat bran flour yet. How is it different?
what a delicious recipe! I love healthy breakfasts alternatives and these would be great on the go too!
I love that the muffins don’t compromise on taste but still manages to deliver a delicious desert yum! I like the combination of banana and walnut too!
You have to love a breakfast that you can make ahead and grab-and-go with!!
Yessss. I love the nut butter added at the end. Looks amazing!
I love banana walnut bread, love that you made muffins and that they are healthier too!
Love how there’s no funky ingredients or flours that I’ll never use again in these. I usually skip over those recipes no matter how tasty they look since I won’t bother to buy all those ingredients. Lucky for me, these ones will be made! Can’t say I may not add some chocolate chips though 😉
Emily I thought about chocolate chips after the fact. Imagine the yumminess of a warm muffin with banana and chocolate 🙂
