Chunky Banana and Nut Muffin



Ingredients

A
2 cups of flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

B
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar (or slight over if using 4 bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract/ 1 stick of vanilla bean
3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons milk

C
5 large overripe bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnut/ almond

Method

  1. Sift ingredient A (flour, baking soda and salt) into a bowl. Slightly chop 2 bananas and mash together with flour until well mixed. The mixture should be lumpy.
  2. Combine ingredient B (eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, milk and butter). Mix well but do not over-beat.
  3. Preheat oven to 200C.
  4. Mash the remaining 3 bananas separately to give it a chunky texture.
  5. Chop coarsely half cup of walnut.
  6. Add in the nuts and the mashed bananas into the batter and fold in. Again, the batter should be lumpy.
  7. Fill paper cups until 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. If possible, put a small ovenproof glass of water in together with the pan to keep the muffins moist throughout the baking process.
