Easy Banana Nut Muffins

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)
• ½ cup salted butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
• 2 eggs
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 ½ 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.

Next, add in the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Then, add in your eggs and again mix well.

Add the vanilla extract and baking soda to the batter. Give it a quick stir and then add in your flour. 

Once the flour has been fully incorporated, stir in ½ cup of your chopped walnuts by hand. Save the other ½ cup for the top of the muffins.

Pour the batter into the cupcake liners half-way full. Then, sprinkle some of the chopped walnuts on the top of the batter.

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.
