Banana Nut Muffin Recipe:

When you open one of these muffins you see the richness. Look at the structure and color of these delicious moist muffins.

• These yummy snacks hold for several days at room temperature in an airtight container.
• They also freeze well when stored in a freezer bag with all the air sucked out so they don’t get dry.
• Store them in the fridge up to a week for a fast grab food and after school or lunch box snack.

Recipe Ingredients:

This is a simple recipe without much fooling around.

TIP: You need very ripe bananas so your texture and flavor are perfect. The peel may look brown and discolored but the banana should be mostly intact.

I have used bruised bananas and bananas that have turned mostly transparent and almost liquid. (I never waste anything). Even these very overripe bananas will work.

However, the flavor may be a bit over the top and the texture may not be quite as good.

The ones I have pictured with the browned ugly peels on were perfect. Ugly on the outside but still a mostly lovely intact banana as you can see in the process shots and our video.

The bananas were so ripe they actually fell off the bunch and became singles. But they were still delicious in these muffins.

Here is the process in pictures for making these banana muffins. Be sure to also watch our video demonstration.
