Banana Berry Muffins

~ Amy Garneau ~ 1 Comment

Happy Sunday everyone!

To start the day I made some banana berry muffins topped with pecan streusel. They turned out so good! I made sure to put extra fruit inside the batter so that every bite there’s a little sweet and a little tart. The streusel on top gives the soft muffins a nutty crunch. Yum, yum, yum.
