Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and chop finely when cool enough to handle. Leave oven on.
- Whisk flour, sugar, chopped walnuts, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Combine bananas, eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Fold banana mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake until muffins are golden brown on top and tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BANANA AND WALNUT MUFFINS (VERY HEALTHY)
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!
