These banana muffins I made last night came out incredibly moist, soft and delicious. They are grain free, made with almond flour instead and sweetened with bananas and just 1 tbs of raw honey, which is completely optional here since the bananas are already sweet. I really like nuts in my muffins so I added ⅓ cup of chopped pecans. I have to say these were one of the best banana muffins I've had. If you make them, I would love to hear your opinion.
