Categories     dessert

Time 27m

Yield 12 muffins

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:

  • Utilize ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add intense flavor and natural sweetness to the muffins, reducing the need for additional sugar.
  • Choose whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour provides more fiber and nutrients compared to all-purpose flour, making the muffins healthier.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the muffins.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Using a kitchen scale for precise measurements ensures consistent results and prevents muffins from being too dry or too dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Aim for a uniform rise by filling each muffin cup with the same amount of batter.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: This indicates that the muffins are perfectly cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Allowing the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving prevents them from crumbling when handled.
