Grain Free No Added Sugar Banana Muffins with Walnut Pecan Topping

 These Grain Free No Added Sugar Banana Muffins with Walnut Pecan Topping are the perfect way to use up those super ripe (almost black) bananas that seem to appear on your kitchen counter at the end of every week. Given the list of very blood sugar-friendly ingredients used to make them, they are perfect for anyone with diabetes in your life who enjoys a good banana muffin, but not the blood sugar spike that usually happens afterwards. They’re super dense, really moist, and the perfect after dinner (or anytime!) treat!

Note: these muffins are paleo if you use coconut oil, but I like butter… so I tested them with butter.
