Here’s an easy recipe for Banana Nut Muffins.  Before you click on the video I must warn you that the author, Rockinjellyfish, is a little wierd… okay, a LOT wierd!  But he makes a pretty tasty banana nut muffin.  If you’re easy to offend, just bypass his video and use a cookbook. 

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 T butter
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 cups bananas blended into a slurry
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 400-degrees F.

Prepare cupcake pans by greasing and flouring.  Assemble ingredients beforehand.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.  Set aside.

1.  Cream together butter and sugars.
2.  Add eggs one-at-a-time.
3.  Add sour cream
4.  Add banana slurry
5.  Add vanilla

After blending all of the wet ingredients, there is no need for the electric mixer.

Use a wooden spoon to mix the rest of the ingredients together.  DO NOT OVERMIX or the muffins will take on the consistency of cupcakes.  Add the above ingredients to the flour mixture until moistened to the texture on the video. 

Add the chopped walnuts at the end and blend.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.  When an inserted toothpick comes out clean, remove muffins from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before transferring to the cooling rack.

 

Always Enjoy!
