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.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- generous 1/4 cup golden superfine sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped coarsely
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
 First, 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. |
 I 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. |
 I 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. |
 The batter is divided among 9 muffin tins and baked in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. |
 The muffins will be golden brown when ready and have to be transferred to a wire rack to cool. |
This is a very fragrant muffin with good texture. It is best served warm and with butter.
This is a good site,these look delicious,very good blog
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 Ãœ 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?
Hi Floyd: Thanks for the feedback.
