This week’s feature ingredient is…Bananas! Make sure you hop around to check out all the amazing recipes in this link up and feel free to add your recipes as well!

Back when I was living with my friend for my first away rotation, my friend threatened to kick me out of said lodging if I didn’t make the banana muffins I’d said I’d make.

Alright, fine. I’m just kidding.

She didn’t actually threaten to throw me out, but she did tell me she wished I’d make em’. We’d embarked on a very ambitious mission to finish off a ton of our kitchen items since both of us were moving out of our respective apartments in about 3 months. Hence, these  “let’s-use-up-everything” Banana Pecan Muffins were born! :]

This makes 6 ginormous muffins + a tinytiny loaf! (It’d probably translate to just over 12 regular-sized muffins.)

Banana Pecan Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1 cup almond flour

• 1/2 cup 0% Fage Greek yogurt (plain)

• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth.
2. Divide the batter evenly among the baking cups/pan.
