Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped macadamia nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and slightly chunky. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
