Pumpkin Spiced Banana Nut Muffins

 

These Pumpkin Spiced Banana Nut Muffins are a welcomed autumnal twist on a classic recipe. The warming spices pair so well against the mellow flavours of bananas and nut, it’s meant to be!

     

I have to admit something though. I am not completely on the pumpkin spice train. I mean, I know there are people who think pumpkin spice is life and dump it on their cereal.

That’s really, honestly not for me.

I enjoy the odd pumpkin spice latte, I love a good pumpkin pie.  That is about where the pumpkin spice starts and ends in my life.

These muffins though, they have made me expand my pumpkin spice circle of trust. It’s a seriously amazing way to punch up boring old banana nut muffins.

Don’t take my word for it though, try them yourself!
