Servings: 12

Ingredients

Ripe bananas
3, mashed
Unsalted butter
1/3 cup, melted
Egg
1, large
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Granulated sugar
3/4 cup
All-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups
Baking powder
1 teaspoon
Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon
Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon
Chopped walnuts
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly mixed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
