Here is an easy and versatile banana nut muffin recipe. You can substitute raisins or blueberries for the mashed banana in the batter to add a little variety.

Bring these muffins along on your next picnic. They don’t require any refrigeration and taste much better than the store-bought version.

Banana Nut Muffins

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup vegetable (or canola) oil
• 3/4 cup mashed banana
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl; make a well in center. Mix milk, egg, oil, banana and walnuts in a small bowl. Pour mixture into well. Mix batter just until moistened; do not over mix. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or until muffins are golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Tip: To ensure round muffin tops, grease only the bottom and halfway up the sides of each cup.

Yield: 12 small or 6 large muffins.
