Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted unsalted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Stir in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until all are well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and almond milk into the batter until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
