Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Banana Walnut Muffins

I’m beginning to come to terms with the fact that 90% of what I bake is muffins. I can’t get over how easy and quick they are, and they are incredibly diverse! I have not yet found a bad combination for muffins and the proportions just work. It makes me super happy, and I will not be stopping anytime soon. This time, my sister-in-law said “muffins” as we discussed easy foods to eat after I have my baby and I realized I had two brown bananas sitting on the counter just begging to be turned into banana walnut muffins.

So, here we have it… Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Banana Walnut muffins! Enjoy!
