Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 0.3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or a potato masher until smooth.
Add the sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade banana walnut muffins!
