Equipment

  • Standard muffin pan
  • large mixing bowl
  • measuring cup(s)
  • measuring spoons
  • whisk

Ingredients

  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed about a cup of mashed bananas
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted walnuts, chopped (plus extra for topping if desired)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a standard size (12-servings) muffin pan with non-stick spray or use muffin liners and spray them with non-stick spray.
  • Add the mashed bananas, melted butter, and milk to a large bowl. Blend with a whisk to combine.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, and brown sugar. Blend with a whisk.
  • Add in the remaining dry ingredients and fold in until just mixed. Then, fold in the walnuts.
  • Fill muffin pan cups to about ¾ full. Make sure each muffin cup has an equal amount of muffin batter. Top with additional walnuts, if desired.
  • Place in the oven on the middle rack, and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out fairly clean (no wet batter stuck on it). Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

How to Store Muffins:  You can store muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days if they're stored in an airtight container.  You can also freeze muffins for up to 3 months if you wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in plastic freezer bags. 
What to Put on a Banana Nut Muffin:  They're pretty darn good all by themselves, but you can try adding a pat of butter, peanut butter, Nutella, or apple butter.
