Recipe: Banana Nut Muffins
Banana Nut Muffins – Mom’s famous for them! Plus, they’re wearing very cute pyjamas!
These muffins are the kind that make your lunch box sing when you’re 8 (or even 16). They smell like a warm snuggly weekend morning. I generally make them whenever we have house guests or when I’m missing family. It’s a nice welcome to wake up to, and not to mention, a protein potassium punch! Want to be extra loving to your family this weekend? Make these banana nut muffins, watch cartoons, or sit on the deck and savor.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup of sugar
• ½ cup of soft butter (not melted)
• 2 large eggs
• 3 large (or 4 small) super ripened banana (like almost all black)
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 ½ – 2 teaspoons of baking soda
• pinch of salt
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
These are easy to make either by hand or in your mixer. I like using my mixer, but the odd time I’ll breakout the baking bowl and give myself a little arm workout (especially if I can’t make it to the gym that day…every little bit helps, right?)
Combine the first 3 ingredients and mix well, then mash (or lightly sir) in the bananas. In a separate bowl, stir together the flower, soda, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, and then add nuts.
I bake mine in my stoneware muffin pan, so I use liners.
Aren’t they cute? Like bananas in plaid pyjamas!
If you’re using a muffin tin, be sure to either use liners or butter it so they muffins don’t stick.
Fill them high – like right to the top. Who wants a small muffin? No one I’ve met.
Bake for 24-27 minutes at 350 degrees.
Break open and butter or jam it up…or eat plain, either way your tummy will know it’s yummy!
