    These Banana Nut Muffins are made with my classic Banana Bread recipe and perfect for breakfast or snack time. Made with ripened bananas and pecans this is the best banana nut muffin recipe you will ever make!

    Muffins are a breakfast I can make any day of the week. I know my kids will eat them, and they are perfect warm with some butter and my morning coffee.

    These Banana Nut Muffins are awesome and I just used my Banana Nut Bread recipe for these muffins. 

    How to Make Banana Nut Muffins:

    These muffins are very easy to make. Mash your bananas and mix your wet and dry ingredients separately.

    Line your muffin tin with muffin liners and then fill the cups about ¾ full.

    Bake and then remove from the muffin tin and allow to cool on a rack.

    These muffins go perfect with breakfast. Serve alongside my Best Breakfast Casserole or just with some scrambled eggs and bacon.

    They are also the perfect midday or after school snack for the kids to have. I hope you enjoy these muffins just as much as my family did!

    Ingredients:

    • Bananas
    • Butter (melted)
    • Sugar
    • Egg
    • Vanilla Extract
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Baking Soda
    • Salt
    • Pecans (crushed)

    ingredients for banana nut muffins

    Directions:

    Step One - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

    • Cooking tip: Yes, even though you are using muffin liners you still want to spray your pan to ensure the muffins do not stick if there is a spill or over pouring.

    Step Two - Peel and mash bananas then add to a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer). Add in butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix together.

    Step Three - In a separate bowl non-stick together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this to wet ingredients and whisk together until well combined but do not over mix.

    Step Four - Fold in crushed pecans.

    Step Four continued - Pour batter into your prepared muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Poke one with a toothpick and if it comes out clean you know they are done.

    Step Five - Allow cooling slightly before removing from pan and serving.

    My Muffins seem dry:

    There are a few things you can do to help your muffins stay moist. I used to have issues with my muffins turning out too dry, so these tips will help you if you have that issue too!

    1. Do not over mix the batter - This may not seem like an important step, but it really is. Over mixing the batter of any muffin will introduce more air into the batter, along with breaking down the fats and oils used in the batter. This will cause a drier finished product.
    2. Add two tablespoons of oil - Yes, this will change the nutritional information but adding just a small amount of oil will really help your muffins stay moist.
    3. Do not overbake - I recommend baking for 20 minutes max for muffins. You do not want to overbake as this will dry the muffin out as well. When you removed the muffins from the oven they will still bake in the pan for some time after they come out.

    I am allergic to nuts, what should I do?

    One great substitute for nuts in this recipe is to replace the nuts with chocolate chips.

    Yes, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are so tasty and just as good. If you cannot do pecans or walnuts this is a great change for that ingredient!
