Breakfast is simply better with these easy-to-bake Banana Walnut Muffins!

We know from elementary level lessons in healthy eating that bananas are a great source of potassium and walnuts provide our body with healthy fat and protein. Both are important, but these muffins feature another star ingredient that offers major support to your digestive health – flax seeds!

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
