Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter and set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Whisk the banana, oil, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a spout or another bowl.
- Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the center; then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will come out dense. Gently stir in the nuts. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
- Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
YES, ANOTHER BANANA BREAD/MUFFIN RECIPE
Adapted from Dr. Cookie's Cookbook, I've been asked to bake this banana bread instead of birthday cake for two friends. If there's a banana or two left from a bunch that end up too soft, into the freezer they go! When we have enough frozen bananas and a rainy afternoon, the fruit is thawed and used in this recipe.

- preheat oven to 400° F and line three 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.

- In large bowl, mix oil, honey, and eggs; stir in buttermilk, bananas, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

- NOTES: when frozen, banana peels will turn black. After thawing, simply snip off one end of the fruit with kitchen shears and "squish" the banana right out into the bowl for mashing. The bread will be a darker color than if fresh ripe bananas are used.
- Do not use honey for children under the age of two.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together baking mix, sugar, and cinnamon; use fingers to work butter completely into mixture. Stir in banana, milk, and eggs until well combined. Divide evenly among 12 paper-lined standard muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full. Sprinkle generously with sugar.
- Bake muffins until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 22 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan; let cool completely on rack.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas are ideal, as they are sweeter and have a more intense banana flavor. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear at room temperature for a few days.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of banana bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add in your favorite mix-ins. Nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, and spices are all great additions to banana bread. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Bake the banana bread at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. A lower temperature will result in a denser loaf, while a higher temperature will result in a drier loaf.
- Check the banana bread for doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the banana bread is done. If it comes out with batter attached, the banana bread needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a delicious and versatile baked good that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture and sweet banana flavor, banana bread is a favorite of people of all ages. Whether you follow the classic recipe or experiment with different mix-ins, you're sure to find a banana bread recipe that you love.
