Muffins are like soft, flavorful clouds of deliciousness. When you place a pad of butter on a warm muffin, it’s like it’s raining butter drops.
Okay…that was stupid. But, it made you think, right? I wish I was on that banana nut muffin. Just think of how long it would last you if you were the size of a walnut piece. Oye, now I’m really just letting my imagination soar. I need to tone it down and come back to earth.
I’m back. And I want more muffins.
It’s a good thing these muffins are so easy to make and that the recipe only makes two. Otherwise, I’d be in serious trouble when left alone with more than two muffins. I’d rather the muffin tops stay on the muffins. 😉
So, let’s talk more about these muffins. First off, they are HUGE like the blueberry muffins I made last week. Also, the muffins are not overwhelmingly sweet like most muffins, they have a subtle hint of sweetness, primarily from the banana flavor. The crunch from the walnuts is just perfect in every bite, too.
How can you say no to a muffin like that?
And just for kicks, here’s the inside. Banana and walnuts everywhere!

Yes please!! Love this!
Love muffins and definitely don’t make them enough! Now with fall rolling in, it might be the perfect time for some pumpkin and apple muffins!
Two muffins?! This is great!!! Now I can have my muffins and not overdo it!
I would totally need to double this : ) Looks faboosh.
So I made these tonight and when combining the wet and dry together, the batter was suuuper dry. I kept adding a little more milk to help the consistency. They came out quite pale and tasteless. . .not sure what I did wrong.
What a bummer. 🙁 I’m sorry they didn’t turn out for you. The only thing I can think of was the size of the banana wasn’t the same as mine, because my husband and I loved them!
These rocked! I made a couple of adjustments to make them work for a 10-day sugar-free challenge. They didn’t rise as much as yours, but were so tender and tasty! These are definitely staying in my baking rotation. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so happy to hear that Melinda! 😀
Made these 2x and they are delicious!!! We added blueberries instead of the walnuts and the boys loved them! Love that I can always count on your blog for yummy finds! Another wonderful recipe!!! 🙂
there are no eggs right? how long should I leave in oven for individual muffins double the amount? thanks
Correct, no eggs. By individual muffins double the amount, do you mean in a normal sized muffin pan? If so, I’d start checking them at 15 minutes and check every 5 minutes after that. Happy Baking!
