Vegan Banana Walnut Muffins

Have you ever realized you had way too many bananas in your kitchen ripening faster than you can eat? Today I looked over at my fruit bowl and realized these bananas needed to be put to good use. Then I started think… I feel like I never have enough time to cook myself a decent breakfast and always rushing out the door without a proper meal to start my day.

This recipe was very easy to make, and I hope you can give it a try!
