Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well blended. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle the baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) over the banana mixture. Fold in the all-purpose flour gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Carefully fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when ready.
- Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
