This recipe for Jumbo Banana Walnut Muffins has stood the test of time. I love it because it's one of those recipes that you can throw all of the ingredients into one bowl and mix together and it comes out perfectly every time.

I especially like when that happens when making baked goods as I'm not big on measuring everything to the "n" th degree.

If the dough looks a little too thick, add some water to thin it out. If the dough is a little too thin, add a little more flour. I promise you it will be fine. My daughters (now 18 and 13) started making this recipe on their own when they were still in elementary school so if they can do it, you can too. šŸ™‚

How do you make Banana Walnut Muffins?

For this recipe you'll need all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ripe bananas, milk, Canola oil, granulated sugar, an egg and chopped walnuts. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt; mix well.Add the bananas, milk, oil, sugar, egg and ½ cup of the walnuts; mix well.

Line a jumbo muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill the batter to the top of the liner. Top the batter with the remaining ¼ cup of walnuts and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched. 

I generally make this recipe as a bread or regular size muffin, but the kids would devour them so quickly and generally eat 2-3 at one sitting that I wanted to make something a little larger in size. I also substitute mini chocolate chips for the walnuts as they like that version better, but I prefer the nuts. ~ Enjoy!

    Have you ever made these with self rising flour?

      I have not, but if you do try it, I would omit the baking powder as that is what causes the dough to rise.
