Banana Nut Muffins Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 14 muffins

Ingredients

  • 4 Old ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 ½ Cups of all purpose flour
  • ¾ Cup of white sugar
  • ⅓ Cup of butter melted
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 Teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 Teaspoon a cinnamon
  • ⅛ Teaspoon of salt
  • 1 Cup of chopped walnuts or pecans

Optional Topping:

  • Turbano sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Make the muffin batter: Get out two large mixing bowls. One bowl will be used to mix the dry ingredients, while the other will be used to mix the wet ingredients. You want to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining them, because if you don’t then you can run the risk of the baking soda, and salt forming clumps. In one of the bowls add the mashed bananas the melted butter, egg, sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined. Then in the second bowl add the flour, salt, and baking soda, and again mix until thoroughly combined. Finally combine the two by pouring the wet ingredients into the bowl for dry ingredients. Mix until they have a consistency of gloopy paste.
  • Add the nuts: Slowly fold in the walnuts into the mixture. Make sure to no over mix the batter at this point as it can result in the muffins being less fluffy.
  • Add the batter to the muffin tins: For this step you can either choose to grease the muffin tin, or just use baking cups. To grease the muffin tins simply take a stick of butter, and rub it on the insides of every crevice. Next, fill each crevice, or baking cup with the muffin batter so that they are about ¾ full. Finally, top this with some of the turbano sugar if you have decided to use it.
  • Bake the muffins: Place the muffins in your preheated oven and let them bake for about 15 to 25 minutes. You will know that the muffins are done once they have achieved a golden brown color and pass the toothpick test. *The toothpick test is when you stick a toothpick into a baked item. If the toothpick comes out clean then the item is fully cooked, if it comes out with some wet batter sticking to it, then the item needs to bake longer.
  • Let the muffins sit: Set the muffins out on your counter to cool off. If you don’t do this then you will run the risk of the muffins falling apart.
