Ingredients:
| Plain flour | 2 cups | |
| Baking soda | 1 ½ tsp | |
| Salt | ½ tsp | |
| Very Ripe Bananas | 4 | |
| Soft Brown sugar | 3/4 cup | |
| Unsalted Butter (I oftenuse salted butter), left at room temp to soften(Do not heat & melt to an oil) | 1 ½ sticks ( 3/4 cup ) | |
| Eggs (at room temperature) | 2 | |
| Pure vanilla extract | 1 tsp | |
| Nuts (like Walnuts), chopped slightly | ½ cup |
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF/190ºC.
- Lightly butter muffin tray (or use individual cups with paper muffin cases – no need to butter these)
- In 1st bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift once together.
- In 2nd bowl, Cut & Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork so that they still retain ‘some’ texture.
- In a mixer, fitted with a wire whisk or with an egg beater, whip the remaining 2 bananas and sugar well until smooth.
- Add melted butter, eggs and vanilla and beat well, scraping the sides of the mixer /bowl with a spatula once or twice.
- Pour this wet mix and fold into the dry mix till just incorporated. DO NOT OVER MIX.
- Fold in the mashed banana and walnuts gently.
- Drop in the batter to fill the muffin tins/cases just about ¾ way up. Remember that if you want peaked muffin tops like from the shop you need to have ample batter, to begin with. Tap gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake, until a toothpick stuck in the muffins, comes out clean( the toothpick test)- Around 18-20 minutes & top turns golden.
- Let cool in the oven for a few minutes. Serve warm. (My husband likes them cold too)!

Notes:
- Do not over mix the batter. Your muffins will not rise.
- Do not under mix the batter – ingredients- flour and the wet batter should be incorporated well.
- Do not use old baking soda.
- The same batter can bake a Banana Walnut Cake as well!
