Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed (about 1½ cups)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts or pecans plus extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing each cup or lining with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix - a few small lumps are perfectly fine!
  5. Fold in ⅔ cup of the chopped nuts, reserving the remainder for topping.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the remaining chopped nuts over the tops.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
