Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup bananas ripe and mashed (about 2 medium sized bananas)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400º F. Grease 12 standard size muffin pan cups or use paper liners.
  2. Beat together butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas until smooth.
  3. Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Alternately stir flour mixture and buttermilk into egg mixture until dry ingredients are just moistened.
  5. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Do not overmix batter; it should into be completely smooth.
  6. Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling two-thirds full. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer muffin-pan cups to a wire rack to cool slightly. Turn out onto rack. Serve warm.

Notes

I almost always get at least 15 muffins if not the whole 18. Depends on the size of your muffin tin and how full you fill them!
