Banana Orange Walnut Muffins

Banana...a fruit full of vitamins and minerals and is the healthiest among all fruits. It has a good source of fiber, potassium and Vitamin C. Do you know that banana plant is not a tree. It is actually the world's largest herb! There is more information here about BANANAS .
I actually wanted to bake a banana chiffon cake weeks ago but the timing wasn't right, either the bananas were too green or they were on the verge of rotting. At last, this morning I saw 2 pieces of brown speckled bananas in the fruit basket just nice for a cake but was too lazy to do the chiffon cake so I opted to bake Banana Orange Walnut Muffins.
