Banana Bread Muffins
Banana Bread Muffins make breakfast a quick grab-and-go. These delicious banana bread muffins are elevated by almond extract, giving them a nutty flavor. This recipe makes two dozen muffins which is perfect if you are feeding a few mouths or meal prepping. You can pop these muffins in the freezer to extend the life of them and make life a little easier for your future self. Plus my favorite part about this banana bread being in muffin form is you don’t have to slice a piece of bread every time you are hungry; just grab a muffin and go (no extra dishes to clean).

Pro tip:
Using parchment paper muffin liners makes for easier removal and you will not have paper or foil get stuck to the sides of your muffins. If you can not find parchment paper muffin liners you can easily make them yourself.
