Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven at 350 degrees.
  • Peel and place the bananas in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher. Set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and the salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl place in the butter and sugar.
  • Whisk with a hand mixer until butter and sugar are combined.
  • Add in one egg along with your choice of banana extract or vanilla extract. Beat well.
  • Then add in the second egg and whisk until well incorporated.
  • Pour in the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  • Then add in the flour and fold it into the banana mixture using a spatula or spoon . Mix until you no longer see any more raw flour.
  • Add in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Mix and set aside.
  • Coat the muffin tin with some butter.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the buttered muffin cups.
  • Then sprinkle the tops of the muffins with some walnuts. You will need about 1 cup of chopped walnuts.
  • Place in the oven on the middle rack.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Because oven temperatures may vary please check on the muffins at the 30 minute mark. If they are not yet nicely browned on top then continue to bake the muffins. It took 40 minutes to bake in my oven but it may only take 30 minutes to cook in your oven.
  • Place on the counter to cool .
  • Then serve! Yummy !

Notes

The  batter can also be poured into  a loaf pan  but it will need to be baked  for a longer period of time.  It will take anywhere from 50 minutes to 65 minutes to bake in a loaf pan.
The vanilla extract, bananas and walnut halves is sold at some Costcos.  Please check with your local store for availability as not all Costcos  carry the same products.
At my Costco, they  do not carry chopped walnuts so if it is the same case at yours, then  just place the walnut halves in a zip loc bag and crush them with a can.
