How To Make Easy Banana Nut Muffins

LETS TALK INGREDIENTS – Banana Nut Crunch Muffins

EGG REPLACEMENT

First of all, I’m not someone who would substitute eggs for this recipe, however, just in case some of you’ll are curious to do so here’s what you can do 

You can use egg replacement powder. 

Measurement: 1 egg = ½ tablespoon egg replacement powder + 2 tablespoons of water

Mix the water and powder together and add to the batter just like you would add the eggs 

BANANA

Banana is the star ingredient in this muffin recipe. For instance, the strong banana flavor in this muffin is what makes it different from the others. To get the best flavor make sure to use ripe bananas and not the regular ones. Ripe bananas are mushy and have the right amount of sweetness that we need. If you have regular bananas that are not ripe just bake the whole banana in the oven for 10-15 mins on 160 degrees C, as a result, this will ripen the bananas and make them mushy, now their good to use

WALNUTS

Next, toast the walnuts in the oven or on the gas to bring out the real flavor from them. Toasted walnuts are more crunchy. Walnuts are added in the batter as well as a big bunch of them on the top of each muffin, these add a crunch in every bite. Secondly, do not chop the walnuts fine, keep them chunky

SPICES 

This recipe contains a dash of spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg powder. Similarly, when you bite into these muffins, you’ll know why we added these spices. It makes them intense with a milk aroma. However, if you are not comfortable with adding any of these spices, feel free to skip it.
