This recipe can make 12 regular size muffins or 24 small muffins. I made
These Banana muffins is one of my family’s favourite. They are quick and easy to make. The rule of thumb is just to mix the wet ingredients in one bowl, the dry ingredients in another bowl. Then combine the two and you are done! There’s no need to use an electric mixer. One very important pointer is do not overmix. Just stir until the batter comes together. Otherwise the muffins will be tough.

This recipe can make 12 regular size muffins or 24 small muffins. I madelots of these for charity too.
The good thing about these banana walnut muffins is they can be made anytime as bananas are in abundance throughout the year. However some preplanning needs to be done as this recipe needs very ripe bananas which are soft and sweet which sometimes can be hard to find.
Hence if you don’t want to wait for several days for the bananas to ripen, it’s best to have some very ripe bananas already frozen in the freezer. All you need to do is to put these very ripe bananas in a plastic bag either whole or peel and mash them. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon juice for each banana, freeze them in an airtight bag or container. They will keep for about six months in the freezer.
So there’s no need to throw too ripe bananas away anymore!
Enjoy!
