Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin 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.
You can add a sprinkle of sugar on top of each muffin before baking for a little extra crunch.
Chopped pecans can be used instead of walnuts if you prefer.
