STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

- In a separate bowl, mash ripe bananas and stir wet ingredients together.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently stir together until just combined. Making sure NOT to over mix the batter.
- Fold in walnuts
- Scoop batter into lightly greased muffin pan or muffin liners about ¾ full.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
RECIPE TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Use ripe bananas. Bananas are the star of the show, so there really is no better way to make banana muffins than to make sure your bananas are ripe. They should have lots of brown/black spots on them. If they are not quite ripe enough, you can either give them a few more days sitting on your counter or you can speed up the process by sticking your bananas on a baking sheet and baking them in the oven on 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes once the skin has started to turn black.
DON’T overmix the batter. Gently stir and combine the wet and dry ingredients, but be sure NOT to overmix.
Use butter and oil. For super moist and flavorful muffins use the combination of butter and vegetable oil or a comparable substitute.
Remove promptly from muffin pan. Once muffins are done, carefully remove them from the muffin pan to prevent them from overcooking.
