Egg-less Whole Wheat banana muffins with a crunch from pecans is one healthy and tasty treat for kids and adults. It can be taken for breakfast or mid-morning/evening snacks. Banana gives nice flavor to the muffin.
As I have mentioned before I always find it very difficult to give fruits to my son. Since he has a sweet tooth like me, I look for recipes with sugar. I wanted to try some baked goodies for him. To start with muffin was my pick. It’s is soft and easy for him to eat.
Banana muffin is made form whole wheat flour. Banana adds some potassium and I gave him small small pieces. Muffins are very special to me as this is the first Muffin he tasted.
When he was 15 months old, I wanted to give him something different. He loves Banana Bread, and Banana bran bread
Two weeks back my friend asked me to help with making Banana Muffin. I tried this in her home, her 2 year old son loved it. Yesterday she called me and asked me for the recipe, here it is 🙂
