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.

Middle School Muffin Mayhem!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We tried this recipe in our 6th grade Home and Career Skills Class and think it came out OK. We would suggest more bananas... and possibly some extra cinnamon to add a little more flavor. Also, we forgot to turn down the oven so some of us thought they were a little dry. Read more

needed something
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I tried these muffins a few weeks ago but thought they needed something. I made them again today changing the amount of... baking soda, cinnamon, salt & vanilla to 1 tsp & used applesauce instead of the oil.....much better this time around. According to my 8 year old...they are delicious!!!Read more

YUM
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe and did not add baking powder and I thought they came out great! I agree they did not have the... strongest banana flavor but I still thought they tasted great. They were moist and not too sweet.Read more

I followed this recipie exactly however unlike many of the other reviewers, I did not find that baking powder was needed. ... The texture was fine, and the rising was fine(the instructions indicate do not mix too much or they will be dense) However they were absolutely TASTELESS! Therefore I will definately look for another recipie.Read more

Is that what I forgot?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I've read in some of these reviews that 2tsp of baking powder was needed in addition to the rest of the ingredients. I guess... that's where I went wrong! I'm just now reading these reviews...after I made my muffins. They didn't rise at all, it was almost like they constricted!! And they weren't the desired texture. The texture was sticky, and dense. They were not very flavorful. Food Network, PLEASE update your recipes with the correct ingredients! I would not make these again with the recipe as is. But I might try them with some of the recommendations from others. The chocolate chip sounds good as well all the toasted walnuts and buttermilk.Read more
