Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed ( make sure it is fresh and soft)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 3-4 bananas)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or swap for macadamia nuts, pecans or hazelnuts)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and 2/3 cup brown sugar until well combined, about 1 full minute. Add eggs, mashed banana and vanilla, whisking until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to lightly stir the batter until almost combined. Add 1/2 cup walnuts and stir until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to over-mix.
  • Grease 15 standard-sized muffin cups and divide the batter evenly among the cups. Sprinkle the top of the each cup with brown sugar and chopped walnuts (topping). Bake for 14-17 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool.
