    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and either coat your muffin tin(s) with non-stick cooking spray or line with cupcake papers.
    • In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the overripe bananas and mash into the creamed butter and sugar.
      1 cup sugar, ½ cup butter, 3-4 large bananas
    • Add the eggs, milk and vanilla, then mix until combined (wet batter will be very lumpy from butter and bananas).
      2 large eggs, 2 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir into the batter. Then add the first portion of divided flour amount (1 ¾ cups) and mix just until the flour is incorporated into the lumpy batter.
      1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 pinch salt
    • In a small ziploc bag, combine the remaining flour portion (¼ cup) with the crushed black walnuts. Shake until well coated, then add to the batter and fold in gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter. *You can add mashed bananas at this step too (vs. earlier), if you like larger chunks of banana in your muffins.
      2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup crushed black walnuts
    • Transfer batter to prepared muffin tins, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center of the muffins.
    • Remove to a wire cooling rack and allow the banana nut muffins to cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve muffins warm or at room temperature.
