Got ripe bananas? This is a great way to use them up and delight your taste buds in the process. Almond flour banana walnut muffins with maple glaze make a delicious gluten free breakfast or snack. I use my favorite gluten free baking flour, almond flour. My favorite brand can be found at BenefitYourLife.com. The maple glaze is optional but launches this simple banana nut muffin into outer space.
