Hello, Healthy Banana Nut Muffins! I decided to do a freezer meal series where I share my fave recipes to make ahead and throw in the freezer. Right now I am in my 39th week of pregnancy and in FULL ON NESTING MODE. This morning I made 3 different batches of muffins, boiled eggs, and homemade yogurt. Talk about one busy mama!
The biggest hit are these Healthy Banana Nut Muffins — I had 2, my toddler had 4 mini muffins… and I might need to make ANOTHER batch. Haha! In total this recipe made 12 large and 8 mini muffins and are high in protein, as well as a source of fiber, omega-3 and 6 fats, vitamins, and minerals!
If you know me, you know I like to keep it as healthy as possible. I like low to no sugar added, healthy fats, fiber, and nutrient dense foods. Of course, it has to be DELICIOUS. ALWAYS! When you have a super picky toddler you will do everything you can to cram as much nutrition into their fussy little faces, LOL.
The nutrition BANG comes from coconut oil, hemp hearts, and pecans. Pecans contain numerous antioxidants including ellagic acid, vitamin A and vitamin E. Hemp seeds are also a healthful source of vitamin E and minerals, such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. They are also exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). Then we add in the benefits of fibre from the whole wheat and rolled oats and you will want to make a DOUBLE BATCH of these Banana Nut Muffins!
All the ingredients you need can be found on Amazon (except bananas!) — see my Pantry Shopping List for easy shopping!

- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans

- Combine flour, oats, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in pecans and hemp hearts until just combined.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Or spray thoroughly with cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among cups, approx. 3/4 full.
