Learn how to make delicious banana walnut muffins, focusing on perfect nut distribution and balanced flavors for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a few extra chopped walnuts on top of each muffin for added texture.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best banana flavor and sweetness.
  • For even nut distribution, gently fold the walnuts into the batter at the very end.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough muffins.
  • You can toast the walnuts lightly before chopping them for a richer flavor.
