G loves fruit, and every time we go to the grocery store, he would stock up on this fresh produce to enjoy throughout the week. The only problem is, his eyes are bigger than his stomach, and we always end up with fruits withering away on the kitchen counter.

When I strolled into the kitchen this morning, I found a bunch of bananas already yellowing their way to the trash. My cheap bum can’t stand any waste, but instead of nagging his ear off for buying more than he can consume, I decided to be nice and bake his favorite banana muffins with walnuts.

I am not sure if it helped my cause because G enjoyed the muffins so much, he might “overbuy” again on purpose.

Tips on How to Make Banana Nut Muffins

  • Do not overwork the batter as this might cause peaked tops, tough texture and tunnels. Mix the dry and the wet ingredients in separate bowls and combine together just until the ingredients are moistened. Do not over stir to a smooth batter; a few lumps are fine.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to easily and evenly portion the batter into the muffin tins.
  • For extra depth of flavor, toast the walnuts.
  • Not a fan of nuts? Swap chocolate chips in equal amount.
  • To store banana muffins for later, wrap individually in plastic film and then freeze up to 3 months.

    Ah, I’m envious of people who can just decide on creating something at a snap of a finger as you did when you saw those bananas.
