Banana Macadamia Nut Muffins are full of a couple of the great exports of Hawaii. Delicious or as in Hawaiian slang “broke da’ mouth.”
I think I have Hawaii running in my veins. All of the islands, anytime of the year. When I hear the word macadamias – I smile.
Then, when I think of macadamias I think of all the wonderful different species of bananas that are in Hawaii. Oh, oh. Now I am thinking of the beach and my heart is racing.
I’d better settle down and try to rein in this recipe. Quite frankly, it is perfect. Don’t chop the macadamias too small so you can really get that flavor and crunch.
Please try this recipe so you can experience Banana Macadamia Nut Muffins and a few of the passions of Hawaii.

September 29, 2013 at 6:11 pmI just made these this morning and they were so yummy, and easy to make. I think I’m going to make these for my husband when he’s back. I had to add a bit more milk (I used soy milk) as I live at a high altitude so if anyone else lives up in the mountains like me, you may need to add an extra splash of liquid. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
