Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth.

Sprinkle the baking soda, baking powder, and salt over the banana mixture and stir until thoroughly incorporated.

Step 6

Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Add chopped walnuts to the batter and gently stir to distribute them evenly.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
