Delicious and comforting banana nut muffins that perfectly blend sweet banana flavor with crunchy walnuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 stick salted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
  • 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup – 1 cup walnuts (toasted if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly before using.
  4. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, both sugars, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently. Be mindful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  6. Fold in half of the walnuts, then distribute the batter evenly into 12 greased or lined muffin cups.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top for added texture.
  8. Bake for 22 to 26 minutes or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use overly ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
