Homemade Banana Nut Muffins














Banana Nut Muffin

I am not much of a baker. My repertoire of baking is limited to the cake mixes and simple recipe which we are taught in secondary school. I can make a decent cake with the boxed mixes, but choices are limited. I have no incentive to expand my culinary skills in that direction.
I have a friend who is a avid baker has shared with me her homemade banana nut muffins for DUMMIES. The muffins came out perfect! No one would have guessed that this is by an amateur. It was just as moist and fluffy as the ones you get in bakery.

Ingredients:
3 large bananas (ripe)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped walnut

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
2. Line muffin tray with muffin paper cups.
3. Mash bananas well.
4. Add sugar and slightly beaten egg.
5. Add melted butter and chopped walnuts.
6. Add all dry ingredients to banana mixture and stir to mix. Please ensure no lumps or else you will be bitting into lumps of uncooked flour - not a pleasant taste.
7. Fill muffin cups to about 3/4 top the top and bake for 20 mins.

note : for variation, you may substitute walnut for pecan nut, almond or hazelnut.
