 Banana Nut Mini Muffins

I Love basic recipes that come out tasting fabulous. Well, these banana nut mini muffins just happen to be one of those recipes. Everyone loves these and I bet you will too. 

 

 

Sometimes you come across a recipe or you create one and you are just so happy how easy the recipe is and that it’s so delicious.

One day I was craving banana bread and was ready to grab the loaf pan when I had just remembered I bought two mini muffin pans a few days back.

So, instead of the banana bread it was going to be banana nut muffins. Mini banana muffins to be exact.

I went over to the pantry and grabbed just some basic ingredients.

A couple of bananas and an egg rounded up the ingredients.

Since my hubby bought a giant bag of walnuts that had not even been opened yet, I grabbed those too.

These muffins came out so great that I now make them all the time.

The recipe makes a good amount. You may want to freeze some. Then you can just take out a couple when ready to eat.

They defrost in no time at all. We happen to like them cold but, warm them in the microwave for just a few seconds and they taste freshly baked.

My son grabs a few to pack into a lunch box and they’re just right for a snack during the day or in the evening with a hot cup of coffee or tea. 

Bake a batch soon and enjoy!

Here’s how to make a batch of banana nut mini muffins…

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray mini muffin pans with cooking or baking spray and set aside.
  2. Using a hand held or stand mixer (These are the two I have been using and love them both!) beat together sugar and butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat to combine.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Toss with a whisk to break up any clumps. Add to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined. Try not to over mix the batter.
  5. Fold in the mashed banana and chopped nuts using a rubber spatula. Dig deep to incorporate the wet into the dry.
  6. Fill each greased cup about ⅔ of the way full, and bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean or with dry crumbs. Try not to over bake. Continue until batter is finished.
  7. Let the muffins cool in pan for 10 minutes then invert onto the wire rack. Grab a few while still warm or store in a sealed container up to 2 days on counter or 4 days in fridge. Freeze up to a month in a freezer Ziploc bag.
