• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

3. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.

6. Gently stir in the milk, followed by the chopped black walnuts. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Black Walnut Banana Muffins as-is or with a pat of butter!
