Banana Nut Muffin

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter (melted)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and arrange the baking cups in a muffin pan.

Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, eggs, baking soda, the remaining 2 bananas, sugar, and vanilla extract.

Beat the ingredients with an electric mixer for 3 minutes or until all ingredients are mixed together.

Fold in the chopped walnuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula.

Spoon the batter into each of the baking cup and fill about halfway.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins turn brown.

Makes 18 regular muffins.
