Flax Banana Nut Muffins // going, going, gone...

i've developed a new appreciation of efficiency since having twins

i'm sure one day, i'll get back to enjoying taking things slow now and then, but for now - efficiency is key if i want to get anything done

enter fabulous banana muffin recipe  

actually, to be honest, i didn't make these myself

my mom had a bunch of bananas that needed using up, so i dug this recipe up from my pre-baby "to try one day" pile and before we knew it - fabulous banana muffins! 

(and a better breakfast option than a cup of black coffee - double bonus!!!)

seriously, this recipe is literally a matter of mixing your dry and wet ingredients - can it get any easier?!

i think not!  

so go ahead, whip up a batch - you know you want to!
