Banana Caramel Nut Muffins

We have a new breakfast ritual in our house. We stay in and have breakfast together every Sunday. It’s nothing fancy. I usually make coffee and pop those croissants from the can in the oven! It’s nice to relax and take it easy one day a week. I had a lot of leftover bananas from when I made banana cupcakes so instead of croissants I dragged myself out of bed and with a little effort made some muffins to serve warm.

For some reason I haven’t made muffins in a year!

These were a great weekend breakfast a long with a homemade vanilla spice latte. I’m sending my muffins away to Alphabakes where the letter is B this month! Created by Caroline and Ros (this month’s host).
