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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 12 Muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups wheat flour
1 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 bananas (overripe)
3/4 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk

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:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them to rise quickly and create a tender crumb.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These banana nut muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist crumb, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnuts, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
