Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
Add the melted butter and sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Stir in the baking soda and salt.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
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 flavor and sweetness.
For extra crunch, you can toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
