Banana Walnut Muffin

I have two over ripen bananas sitting on my counter. I know nobody is going to touch it. So, I decided to put them to good use by making Banana Walnut Muffins. With the recipe below, you may use pecans or hazelnuts instead if you like.

Instructions

IMG_4077_edited-1First, I preheat the oven to 375 F. Then I spray 9 muffins tins with vegetable spray. You may line the muffin tins with paper cups instead.Then I sifted the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Next I added the sugar and walnuts and stirred to combine the dry ingredients.
IMG_4080_edited-1I mashed the bananas in another bowl. In it, I added the milk, melted butter, beaten egg and vanilla extract and mixed them (wet ingredients) together.
IMG_4081_edited-1I then added the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stirred until just combined. Do not over-mix the mixture or the muffins will be tough.
IMG_4082_edited-1The batter is divided among 9 muffin tins and baked in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

This is a very fragrant muffin with good texture. It is best served warm and with butter.

    I usually end up making banana bread when I have over ripe bananas or making a smoothie with them.

    Wow, it’s pretty low in fat with only 2 T of butter, i hope these muffins aren’t hard and dense Ü Your pictures looks fantastic

    Hi Fawn: Amazing isn’t it? I think the moist comes a lot from the banana.

    Hi Blueyes: Any excellent secrets to making the perfect smoothies?
