Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ¼ cups walnuts, finely chopped
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs, beaten

This recipe is from Dr Sandra Cabot's liver cleansing diet book. The recipe is healthy and tastes great. I usually chop the walnuts up so they are quite small, I find it easier to eat that way.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: This will help to create a smooth batter and prevent the muffins from being lumpy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help to prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These banana and walnut muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Feel free to add in other ingredients such as chocolate chips, raisins, or cranberries. These muffins are also a great way to use up leftover bananas. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try!
