Wonderful Banana Muffins image

From "The Silver Palate Cookbook", these are my favorite banana muffins. Rich with flavor, I've never had them not turn out delicious. You can substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour for 1 cup of unbleached, all-purpose flour, if you want a healthier tasting muffin.

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture.
  • Fold in mashed bananas, vanilla, and walnuts.
  • Spoon mixture into lightly-greased muffin pan, and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Because of the banana, a wooden pick may not come out completely clean if inserted to check if done.
