One heck of a tasty muffin. Good enough to hide a couple of bananas just to use for muffins later. Plus it's an easy bake.
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 23 mins
Total time: 40 mins
Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients
Wet
2 rip bananas
1 large egg
1/3 cup butter
2 T coffee
1 1/2 t vanilla
Dry
1 1/2 cup AP flour
3/4 cup sugar (plus more for the top)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 t salt
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
Instructions
1) Preheat oven to 350 (not convection this time).
Mash the bananas well in a 2 cup measuring cup.
2) Melt 1/3 cup of butter in the microwave.
About 25 seconds depending on your microwave.
3) Add one egg to the banana and mix until well combined.
Add the butter, 1 1/2 t vanilla and 2 T coffee.
Add just enough milk to make it 2 cups.
4) You need 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. I used walnuts but they were whole so I chopped them.
Actually I used about 3/4 cup since I really like walnuts.
Use pecans or other nuts if you wish.
5) Combine the nuts with 1 1/2 cup AP flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 t salt, 2 t baking powder, 1/2 t each of baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
6) Mix wet into dry and mix only until all the dry is incorporated.
Do not over mix.
7) Prepare 12 cup cake baking cups. I gave the pan a good spray of PAM so they won't stick.
Pour the batter into the cups.
8) Sprinkle the tops with a generous amount of sugar.
Spray the sugar with PAM.
9) Bake until toothpick comes out clean.
For me 23 minutes.
Some variability due to oven should be expected.
