Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3 Bananas About 1 cup
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts Plus extra to sprinkle on top of muffins

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a six muffin pan with nonstick spray or line it with cupcake liners. Set aside. 
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
    1 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Baking Soda, 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together softened butter, sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla
    1/2 cup butter, 1 cup Sugar, 2 Eggs, 1 teaspoon Vanilla, 3 Bananas
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are incorporated. 
  • Mix in the walnuts, saving about 1/4 cup for the tops of the muffins.
    1 cup Chopped Walnuts
  • Spoon the banana mixture evenly into each cup or liner. Sprinkle extra walnuts onto the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes in a hot oven until the tops are golden brown and a fork or toothpick stuck into one of the muffins comes out clean. Place the muffins on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make sure your bananas are ripe! If you don't have black peel overripe bananas, place them on a baking sheet and cook at 300 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes. Let the bananas cook completely before mashing.
Use the correct type of measuring cups - Always use glass or clear measuring cups for liquid and opaque cups for dry ingredients. 
Measure the flour and sugar accurately. Scoop the flour or sugar into the measuring cup and use a knife to level it off so the sugar or flour sit right at the top of the cup. 
Room temperature fridge items. Take eggs and butter out of the fridge so they have time to come to room temperature.
