Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work wonderfully)
- 1/4 cup additional sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- The first step in making these muffins is to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Add in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Next, sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, and mix to incorporate these dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined—be careful not to over-mix!
- Finally, add the chopped nuts to the batter and fold them in evenly.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin for added sweetness and crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once done, let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
