Banana Nut Muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt
  • 7oz overripe bananas mashed (about 2 large bananas)
  • 3/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted (3.5oz)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts chopped

Preparation

  1. 01

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter 2 muffin tins. You may also use paper cups if desired.

  2. 02

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt, then set aside.

  3. 03

    Add the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla – then beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice.

  4. 04

    Fold in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Add the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about ¾ of the way. Remove air bubbles by rapping the tin on the counter.
