BANANA WALNUT MUFFINS



Banana Walnut Muffins image

Walnuts are revered since ancient times as a symbol of intellectuality since their kernels have a convoluted surface inside the shell resembling that of the brain!

Provided by Debra DosSantos

Categories     Muffins

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c softened butter
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 ripened bananas
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. In large bowl, blend together butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and banana
  • 2. In separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg,and cinnamon
  • 3. Blend dry ingredients into first mixture. Add walnuts.
  • 4. Fill paper muffin cups with batter and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins.
  • 5. I like to put a whole walnut on top before I bake them, "just for looks"

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are ideal for baking as they are naturally sweeter and provide a moist texture to the muffins.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together: This step helps to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier muffin.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This allows the muffins to rise properly without overflowing the cups.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the muffins are fully cooked.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack: This helps to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.

Conclusion:

These banana walnut muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are packed with flavor from the ripe bananas, crunchy walnuts, and warm spices. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
