Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter, mixing well.
Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the banana mixture, stirring until everything is combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just blended. Be careful not to overmix!
Finally, gently fold in the chopped nuts. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days. For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips!
