Recipe: Cinnnamon Banana Bran Nut Muffins

I love food!! And who doesn't? In the past two years I have made some serious changes about what I put in my body, which has led me to create and write my own recipes.

I tailor my recipes to be high in fiber, low in fat and over the top in tasty yummy!! Oh, and lots of agave nectar. If you are watching your sugar intake, this is a great sweetener substitute and you'll find that most of my recipes use it.

So, here goes...
