Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing the cups or lining them with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and mashed bananas and stir with a large wooden spoon.
  3. Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  4. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt over the banana batter and stir to combine. I never both to whisk the dry ingredients, I just make sure not to dump all of the baking powder or baking soda into one spot, which risks it not being mixed in to the batter very well.
  5. Add the chopped walnuts, reserving a handful for decorating the tops of the muffins. Stir just until no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Evenly divide the batter among the cups of a lightly greased muffin tin. If you want, sprinkle the top of each muffin with the reserved chopped walnuts before baking.
  7. Bake for 20-24 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.

Notes

  • If you want to make a loaf of banana bread instead of muffins, just pour all of the batter into a lightly greased loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a sharp knife inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.
