Method
 

Muffin Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until they are smooth and creamy. Add in the granulated sugar and vegetable oil, mixing well until fully combined. Then, introduce the eggs one at a time and stir until blended.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until moistened. Fold in the chopped walnuts for that perfect crunch.
  4. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with your batter. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Cool the muffins slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
