Super Moist Buttermilk Banana Nut Muffins image

I got this recipe off the Gold Metal flour bag. I must say, the kids and family were skeptical when I told them it was made with Buttermilk. Yet it is by far the moistest, flavorful banana nut muffins I ever made. The texture was perfect and the flavor was just amazing. I actually use this recipe all the time now. Its a 2 loaf...

Ingredients

1 1/4 c sugar
1 stick softened butter ( i used real butter/salted)
2 eggs ( i use large)
1 1/2 c mashed bananas (the riper the better)
1/2 c buttermilk
1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 c flour (i sift but you dont have to)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 c walnuts ( i finely chop 1/2 for the batter)
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES. SET RACK IN OVEN TO TOP IF USING GAS STOVE , MIDDLE IF ELECTRIC

Steps:

1. You will need 2 bowls, one for dry and one to mix everything in. Depending on if your making loafs or muffin pans grease just the bottom of pans, cooking spray works just fine. Muffin pans, I use the muffin liners.
2. This is a 2 loaf recipe. I make one loaf and 6 large muffins (I have a large muffin pan) so how many muffins you get depends on the size of your pans and how full you fill your muffin pan
3. First mix all dry ingredients together. I sift mine all together to incorporate them well but you do not have to sift.
4. In second bowl the bigger one that you can use a mixer in first beat softened butter and sugar together till almost creamy
5. Next, add eggs one at a time. Then add buttermilk, then mashed bananas and vanilla... beat with mixer till creamy on medium speed. Add in 3/4 cup of walnuts walnuts.
6. Slowly beat in the flour mixture till you get half of it incorporated. Then you will need to stir in the rest of flour.
7. Split the batter between two loaf pans or 3/4 way full in muffin pan. Sprinkle remainder walnuts on top of batter after it is in pans then place in oven
8. I put my pans on a cookie sheet. When I bake these. I believe it keeps my bread and muffins from browning to fast on bottom.
9. Now depending on what your making will make a difference in how long they will be in the oven. The muffins take about 20-25 minutes no longer. Bread loaves take 40-45 minutes. The recipe calls for alot longer and we found that it just dried them out. I also find that it depends on the oven and wether your using gas or electric. Check it and use toothpick in center for doneness. As long as the toothpick comes out with no batter on it, its done. I have a great gas oven and stove . I have tweaked this to my preference after we got our new stove. Please enjoy this is really a great recipe. For me, I have enjoyed watching my family gobble them up and baking this for them for years.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, light
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c buttermilk (dry buttermilk plus water may be used
2/3 c canola oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 large banana's, very ripe, well mashed
1/2 c walnut, chopped

Steps:

1. In a large mixing bowl combine egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Mash banana's and add to this mixture mixing well.
2. In another large bowl combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt then mix thoroughly.
3. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients folding the two gently by hand using a wooden spoon being sure not over mix.
4. Use an ice cream scoop to measure out the batter into muffin cups.
5. Take a spoon and drop walnuts over the top of each muffin pressing lightly so the nuts stick.
6. Bake at 350*F for 18-22 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched and tops are lightly browned.
7. Be sure to store any left over muffins in plastic wrap to keep muffins from drying out.
8. These muffins can be frozen and thawed out when needed.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help them to set and hold their shape.

Buttermilk banana nut muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
