I won’t lie, pretty much all my favorite foods are breakfast foods. And these muffins are the perfect example of why I basically just want to eat breakfast all day long. These Paleo Banana Pecan Muffins are light but moist, easy to make, have only good for you ingredients, naturally sweetened, and of course, they taste amazing. Otherwise, what would I even been doing putting them up on here. The easy crumb topping is optional but definitely worth the extra few minutes it takes to make. These muffins have quickly become legend around our neighborhood with everyone eagerly awaiting the next batch. Make them sometime this week and I promise, you’ll be the talk of the block too.
