Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the sugar, eggs, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped nuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before enjoying.
