BEST EVER BANANA NUT MUFFINS
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners (or grease very well with butter or cooking spray if you prefer not to use paper liners).
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl and mix in the sugar and egg with a wooden spoon until well blended.
- Add the vegetable oil and mix well.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, along with 3/4 cup of the chopped walnuts. Adding the walnuts with the dry ingredients helps prevent over-mixing.
- Mix everything together just until the flour disappears and the walnuts are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup walnuts, brown sugar and melted butter and mix until the walnuts are coated.
- Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups and spoon a bit of the coated walnuts onto the top of each one, making sure the topping is well distributed onto the top of each muffin (not in one big clump or it might sink into the muffin as it bakes!).
- Bake for about 20-23 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in their tins for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

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.

BEST EVER BANANA MUFFINS
These are the only banana muffins I make now. I add chocolate chips to my batter and triple the recipe. These freeze great. I got this recipe from an old (1980's) Canandian cookbook called "Muffin Mania". (Prep time is a guess.)

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
- Use a fork to mash the bananas: This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent the muffins from being too dense.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a tender and moist muffin.
- Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help to prevent them from breaking.
Conclusion:
