Banana Nut Muffins

I just love these muffins and had some bananas that were turning a little brown this morning so it was the perfect opportunity to make them.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine in a bowl:

3 ripe bananas (approximately 1 cup)
1/4 cup canola oil + 2 Tbsp
1/2 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt


Add the following and beat well:

1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Then Add:

1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups wheat flour

Stir just until combined and then add:

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Be careful not to overmix.  Once the batter is combined, spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.  I use an Olive oil cooking spray.  You an also use muffin liners.  Use a spoon or scoop to evenly distribute batter into the sprayed muffin tin.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes.
(I use a light colored metal muffin pan and usually cook these 19 minutes.  If you use a darker pan...you will want to reduce the time.)
