Ingredients

Dry ingredients

Wet ingredients

  • 1 and ¼ cups mashed very ripe bananas about 2 very large or 3 medium
  • 1 cup packed golden brown sugar
  • 1 cup plain thick yogurt refer notes to use greek yogurt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Whisk all dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Into another larger bowl, add all wet ingredients and whisk until very smooth. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined (DO NOT OVER MIX).
    Tip: To mash bananas, peel them and place in a shallow bowl. Using a potato masher or the back of a large fork, press down on the bananas, until completely mashed and lump free.
  • Using a rubber spatula, stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts and 2 tablespoons water, until just mixed (DO NOT OVER MIX).
  • Divide batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan (remember, these are big muffins, so the batter will be almost full in the pan) , and sprinkle remaining chopped walnuts on top of the batter.
  • Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes clean. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
    Pro tip: Over mixing the batter will make the muffins to be tough heavy, dense or rubbery.
