Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups black walnuts, chopped
• 0.25 cups milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.

Step 6

Gently stir in the milk, followed by the chopped black walnuts. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Black Walnut Banana Muffins as-is or with a pat of butter!
