Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup melted butter or oil
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
½–¾ cup chopped walnuts (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas. Add sugars, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in chopped walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Sprinkle extra walnuts on top for crunch, if desired.
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and natural sweetness.
Toast the walnuts beforehand for a deeper nutty flavor.
Muffins freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Substitute pecans if you prefer or go nut-free if needed.
