Instructions

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- You can add a sprinkle of extra nuts on top before baking for a nice finish.
- These muffins store well in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
