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

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Stir in the melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- 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.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or dried fruit into the batter.
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and moisture.
- These muffins freeze well; simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.
