Description
Delicious and moist banana muffins perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (460g) ripe bananas (about 4–6 mashed bananas, be sure to measure the mashed banana)
- ¾ cup (177ml) vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups (230g) chopped nuts (divided, I recommend walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Mash 4-6 bananas, then measure out 2 cups using dry measuring cups, not liquid measuring cups. It’s important to measure the banana since the size of each banana can vary so much.
- In a mixing bowl combine the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and 1 1/2 cups nuts.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing by hand just until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- For bakery style muffin tops, line a 12 count muffin pan with 6 muffin liners, meaning you’ll only fill every other muffin well with batter. Fill the liners super full with batter, about 6-8 heaping tablespoons. Top the muffins with additional nut pieces and sanding sugar.
- Place one pan in the center of the oven and bake for 7 minutes at 425ºF, then keep the muffins in the oven, and turn the temperature down to 350ºF and bake for 13-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing. Repeat with the remaining batter, bumping the temperature back up to 425ºF.
Notes
- Ensure to measure the mashed banana accurately as the size may vary.
- You can use either walnuts or pecans as your nuts.
