These soft banana nut muffins are packed with walnuts for a truly delicious experience. These are the perfect way to use up some overripe bananas.

Personally, I like these muffins for breakfast, but the beauty of banana bread is that these are sweet enough to be served as a snack or even dessert!

What you need to make banana nut muffins

  • 4 bananas (overripe- starting to get brown on the peel)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup walnuts (chopped)

How to make these delicious banana muffins

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then peel 4 bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. With you whisk attachment, or using a fork mash them up. Then, add in the melted butter and mix well.

Once the flour has been fully incorporated, stir in 1/2 cup of your chopped walnuts by hand. Save the other 1/2 cup for the top of the muffins.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the muffin. Also, make sure to rotate your pan half-way through your cooking time. This ensure an even cooking for every muffin.
