BEST EVER BANANA NUT MUFFINS

These Best Ever Banana Nut Muffins are the BEST banana muffins you'll ever make, with a delicious and sweet walnut topping!

Provided by Chrissie Baker

Categories     Baking     Breakfast     Brunch     Snack

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large ripe bananas
3/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
3/4 cups chopped walnuts
3/4 cups chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter

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.

SPICED BANANA MUFFINS



Spiced Banana Muffins image

Recipe by Canadian Chef Michael Smith. "A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!" You got to love him!
