Paleo Banana Nut Muffins
Paleo Banana Nut Muffins combine ripe mashed bananas with almond and tapioca flours for a moist, tender crumb. The addition of pecans adds a crunchy texture and nutty flavor that balances the natural sweetness of honey and bananas. These muffins bake to a lightly golden top, creating a pleasing contrast between the soft interior and the crisp edges. They make a practical choice for those following paleo or grain-free diets, delivering satisfying texture without traditional wheat flours.
