How to Make Banana Nut Muffins

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Simply mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the eggs.

Fill either greased (use coconut oil) or paper-filled muffin cups around two-thirds full. Add banana slices and walnut pieces on the top of each muffin, pressed them in a bit to make sure they're partially submerged.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
