Banana Nut Muffins
This Banana Nut Muffins recipe resembles a banana bread recipe. However, I decided to bake it in cupcake molds and add a few tweaks by adding walnuts and cinnamon to it. These muffins are sweet and delicious especially when you got ripe bananas to use in this recipe.
Moreover, these muffins are just light and fluffy which can really brighten up your day once tasted.
Equipment to Use in the Process
For this recipe, the following tools are needed to accomplish the recipe:
- Cupcake tin- This serves as our mold for the muffins. A 12 CT would be great for this particular recipe.
- Cupcake liners- These are papers that are used to contain the batter poured into the cupcake tins
- Ice cream scooper- This is used to scoop the batter of the muffin mixture and it ensures an equal amount is poured into each cupcake tin.
- Hand or a Stand mixer- This is used to beat, whip, and combine all the ingredients and make sure that they are in uniform consistency. Also, it makes the baker’s work less tiring!
- Rubber spatula- It is used for stirring and blending batters and other mixtures, and in folding mixtures gently.
