There is a never a dearth of overly ripe bananas at our place. If Alok does not eat one before going for his work out, the banana almost gets unnoticed. I have frozen some of the ripe bananas, but when I thaw them they look strange and smell weird, so I have stopped freezing and started using them. So this time with the ripe bananas on hand I tried BananaWalnut Muffins again with another recipe and some modifications.

| Eggless Banana Nut Muffin |
The banana nut muffin recipe I used from Rakskitchen wasinspired by Blogresipi, who adapted from Paajaka, who was inspired by Saffronhut. To cut the long story short – turns out that themodifications I made were exact proportions and same ingredients as theprevious Whole Wheat Banana Nut Muffin recipe I shared from Veggieplatter.

Everyone adds their own twists and substitutes to a basic recipe, andthis is what I have understood about making eggless banana walnut muffins:
To make 6 standard Eggless Banana Walnut Muffins, you need:
- 2 very ripe bananas, which upon mashing become 1 cup of banana pulp/bananapuree
-¼ cup + 2 Tbspsugar is sufficient since a very ripe banana is naturally sweet
-¼ cupoiland if moreliquid required in batter in case it is thick then milk can be used 1 tsp at a time
- ½ tsp vanilla extract is absolutely optional and makes very littledifference since taste of banana overpowers
- 1 cup flour, use whole wheat flour, or all-purpose flour, or amixture of both depending on your preference
- ½ tsp baking powder, enough amount of leavening agent to increasevolume and lighten texture
- ½ tsp baking soda, enough amount of raising agent to expand andrise
- ⅛tsp(a pinch) salt, totally optional, does not make any obvious difference
- ¼ to½cup chopped walnuts are optional, can be substituted or even accompaniedwith flax, oats, other nuts, chocolate chips, etc too, can be added altogetherto the batter or reserved some for sprinkling on top
Procedure to make Banana WalnutMuffins:
0. Preheat the oven to 350F or 375F ifyou think you can finish all procedures within 10 minutes, otherwise switch iton when you know you have 10 more minutes to go so that you don’t wasteelectricity. Grease the muffin pan ormuffin mold, insert the paper liners and keep the pan ready.

3.Don’t over mix or the muffins become dense, don’t make the batter toothin or the muffins may fall flat, don’t whip the way you need to add air to acupcake batter. Just fold and mix tomake a thick batter of dropping consistency.Choose to stir in all the walnuts or any otheradditions, or reserve some to sprinkle on top.

4.Scoop muffin batter into liners filling it 3/4th and sprinkle reservedwalnuts over it. If filled only 1/2 of the liner then you won’t get the dometop. No need to level the batter insidemuffin pan because muffins look good when they are uneven.

5.Bake for 28-30 mins @ 350F until the top of muffins turngolden-brown and toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Check on them once at 25 minutes to judge howlong to bake further. I baked for about 30 mins @ 350F andthese moist eggless banana walnut muffinsturned out amazing.

So it’s all aboutmashing, stirring, sifting, mixing, scooping, and baking. That’s all.There is no creaming of ingredients, no whipping to make fluffy, norefrigerating, and no decorating. I supposethis is why they are called breakfast muffins.Because no one has the time to prepare a long and tiresomebreakfast. Compare these 12 banana breakfast muffinsthat take 30 minutes to a loaf of banana bread that takes 60 minutes. Yep – for those in a rush, the banana walnutmuffins sound just right.
