Kristy's Ultimate Banana Nut Muffins

duncanshannon's Note:

Inspired by Tylers Ultimate Banana Nut Muffins

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 12.0 Muffins

• 1 ½ cups wheat flour
• 1 cup oatmeal
• ¼ cup ground flax seeds
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 bananas (overripe)
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and cooled
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup pecans , chopped
• ¼ cup 1% low-fat milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter 2 muffin tins.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together like you mean it, for a good 3 minutes. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
3. Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ducanshannon, I just made these Muffins this afternoon they a very good quite light not as dense as I thought they would be the texture is quite nutty and not too sugary taste perfect for breakfast great with jam! The only thing I did different from the recipe was to add to the butter the bananas and beat them for three minutes as my DH does not like chunks of banana in anything. I also added a crumb, nut. butter and brown sugar topping with no problems with rising. These muffins are going to be a staple in our house with our morning coffee and tea. Thank you for posting.
