Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups smashed bananas (about 4 to 6 bananas)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter and set aside.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; set aside.
Whisk the banana, oil, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a spout or another bowl.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the center; then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will come out dense. Gently stir in the nuts. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Awful recipe. Bland, dry. Food Network you should be embarassed! I followed this recipe to a T too. I haven't tried new versions but based on how they came out, I'd suggest...more cinammon, more vanilla extract, and more sugar.

Just made these muffins with the few tweaks that were mention in some of the reviews. The one tweak i'm most appreciative of is the addition of 2 tsp. of baking powder, because just looking at the muffins they seem to NOT be dense. The other recipe tweak i inc. from the reviews was for flavor... upped the cinn. & vanilla, added 1/2 tsp nutmeg, use qtr light brown sugar & half dark brown sugar, and 3 large over-ripe bananas. Will let you know how they taste after cooling down a bit.
my rating as of right now is based on looks alone. * * * *
For the people who find this recipe "had no taste or flavor"...PLEASE LOOK AT THE INGREDIENTS. That alone should tell you whether or not it's going to have enough flavor per your personal taste.
