These moist homemade banana nut muffins are quick and easy to make, featuring ripe bananas, toasted walnuts, and a touch of vanilla for a perfectly balanced sweet and nutty flavor. Ideal for breakfast, snacks, or gatherings, they deliver a tender texture with a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar (reduce to 1/2 cup for less sweetness)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (about 90g) chopped walnuts, toasted
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  3. Mash the ripe bananas in a medium bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  4. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until combined and smooth.
  5. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  7. Fold in the cooled toasted walnuts evenly.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Toast walnuts to enhance flavor and crunch. Avoid over-mixing the batter to keep muffins tender. Room temperature eggs blend better. If muffins brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil or vegan butter.
