The Best Banana Nut Muffin

This is by far THE BEST banana nut muffin recipe ever. Super soft and moist banana nut butter with walnut toppings is very easy to make.

A banana nut muffin is a type of muffin that typically includes ingredients such as mashed bananas, flour, sugar, eggs, and chopped nuts (usually walnuts or pecans) as its main ingredients. It is often considered a breakfast food or a sweet snack. The mashed bananas give the muffins a moist and soft texture, while the nuts add a crunchy and nutty flavor. Some variations of the recipe may also include ingredients such as cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder to enhance the flavor and texture.

For banana nut muffins, it is best to use ripe bananas. Ripe bananas have a yellow peel with brown spots, indicating that they are sweet and easy to mash. The sweetness of the banana will complement the nutty flavor of the muffins and will add moisture to the batter. Overripe bananas can also be used, as they have an even stronger banana flavor and will make the muffins even more moist.

INGREDIENTS:

• Bananas: ripe bananas are good for this recipe.

• Vegetable oil: make them moist and tender.

• Brown sugar: adds flavor and moistness.

• Egg: you only need one large egg.

• Vanilla extract: adds flavor.

• All purpose flour:

• Baking soda: (not baking powder) helps to lift the muffins.

• cinnamon: for extra flavor.

• Salt: you just need a pinch of salt to balance the flavor.

• Chopped nut: walnut or pecans adds a little crunch and goes really well with bananas.
