Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter 2 muffin tins.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together like you mean it, for a good 3 minutes. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
  • Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. This will give the muffins a sweeter, more intense banana flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender muffin.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These banana nut muffins with cream cheese frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The muffins are moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is rich and creamy. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home.
