How to make?
Ingredients
2 to 3 ripe bananas, thoroughly mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tbsp strong brewed coffee or espresso, or a pinch of instant coffee granules mixed with a Tbsp of water
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup of flour
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
Thoroughly mash the bananas in a large bowl. Stir the melted butter into the bananas. Mix in the sugar, egg, coffee and vanilla extract.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, a third at a time, stirring until it is just incorporated.
Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
Lightly spoon the mixture into a prepared muffin tin. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
Check for doneness by pressing down on the top of the muffin. If it bounces back, it's done. You can also test by inserting a skewer or other tester into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, it's done.
Cool on a rack.
