Banana Walnut Muffins image

I made these up tweaking a banana bread recipe. We had them for breakfast this morning with boiled eggs and they were so good--even better for lunch. In fact, I think I'll have another one right now. Yum!

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium eggs
1/4 cup oil (I used grape seed oil)
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup mashed banana (over ripened)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup walnut pieces (I keep mine in nice big pieces)

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, toss walnuts with 1 tbs of the dry mixture.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs slightly.
  • Add remaining ingredients mixing after each addition.
  • Finally, add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently stir till moistened then gently fold in walnuts.
  • DO NOT USE A BEATER: It will make the muffins dry and hard. All the mixing should be very gentle and just enough to incorporate everything together.
  • Lightly spray with oil, a 12 cup muffin tin and divide batter into each one. They will be very full.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 22 minutes or until done.
  • Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Remove from tin and eat now or later -- or both!
