GF Libby's Banana Pecan Muffins
These banana muffins are super moist with a perfect pecan crunch on top. They’re delicious and my kids (and husband!) gobbled them up right away! Hope your family enjoys them too. Tip: when you have bananas going bad sitting on your counter but don’t have time to bake with them, peel them and bag them in a Ziplock bag. I bag them 3-4 at a time since that is what recipes call for. Place bag in freezer and thaw when you are in the mood for muffins or cake (or pop in the microwave if you don’t have time to let thaw) Super over ripe bananas make the greatest baked goods so don’t let those bananas go to waste!
