Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts gently to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to 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 leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
