These Cinnamon Pecan Banana Bread Muffins are a family recipe that I adapted to make slightly healthier. Instead of using sour cream, I swapped it out for plain non-fat Greek yogurt. I also added in some cinnamon and chopped pecans for a bit of protein. My mom’s banana bread recipe that this is based off of is a super moist and delicious bread that is loved by everyone who tries it. These Cinnamon Pecan Banana Bread Muffins are equally as good!

If you have company staying with you over the holiday weekend, these Cinnamon Pecan Banana Bread Muffins are the perfect solution for a quick and easy breakfast. They can be made a couple days ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. They stay nice and moist and can be served with some fresh fruit or yogurt for a light breakfast. My husband loves these smeared with a little butter for a snack just about any time of the day!

Another great thing about these Cinnamon Pecan Banana Bread Muffins are that they freeze well! As soon as they cool off to room temp, pop them in some airtight containers or ziploc bags and freeze them. Take them out a at least a few hours before you plan on serving them and they taste almost as good as fresh out of the oven. They key is to not let them sit out a few days before freezing. It is ideal to freeze right after baking to preserve the fresh and moist muffins.

    These sound divine! I love the addition of the cinnamon and pecans! They can only make banana muffins (my favorite) even better!
