Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional
• 3/4 cups chopped walnuts

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners (or grease very well with butter or cooking spray if you prefer not to use paper liners).
• Mash the bananas in a large bowl and mix in the sugar and egg with a wooden spoon until well blended.
• Add the vegetable oil and mix well.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, along with 3/4 cup of the chopped walnuts. Adding the walnuts with the dry ingredients helps prevent over-mixing.
• Mix everything together just until the flour disappears and the walnuts are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup walnuts, brown sugar and melted butter and mix until the walnuts are coated.
• Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups.
• Bake for about 20-23 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
• Let the muffins cool in their tins for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
