Wonderful banana muffin recipe. I did use chopped walnuts because DH just simply does not like almonds. Great use for those too ripe bananas and very quick and easy to make. This made 18 large muffins for me.

Very tasty and simple to make. I left the almonds out and didn't sprinkle with sugar. Tastes just like banana bread.
