- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 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, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- 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
- For best results, use very ripe bananas.
- Ensure your walnuts are evenly distributed in the batter for consistent flavor and texture in each muffin.
- You can lightly toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
