I keep flax seed in my refrigerator and grind it at the time of baking, in a coffee grinder I bought just for the flax seed.

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.

ULTIMATE BANANA MUFFINS
My staple go-to recipe for overripe bananas! The key to super moist muffins is to mix the batter until only just combined, and not to over bake.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. If you don't have ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few hours.
- Use a combination of flours: This recipe uses both all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. The whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and extra fiber. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups: Fill the muffin cups no more than 2/3 full. If you overfill the cups, the muffins will rise too much and spill over the sides.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that your muffins are cooked through.
Conclusion:
These banana walnut muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of bananas, walnuts, and Splenda makes these muffins a guilt-free treat.
