I came home to find two brown bananas, so rather than just tossing them, I made some quick and easy banana nut muffins. Enjoy
1 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 brown bananas
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter-melted
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
1 cup walnuts chopped
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and butter a muffin tin (it makes about 9 muffins)
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl
3. Smash the bananas, add the brown sugar and mix it like you mean it. Add the butter, egg, and vanilla. (probably use a bigger bowl than I did) 
4. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet and add the walnuts
5. Fill up your muffin tin
6. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes

Oh yum! I only have 1 brown banana though or other wise I'd make this asap!
1According to my boyfriend, although, i have never tried to do this. You can actually microwave a yellow banana for short while (probably 30 seconds) and it will be mushy like a brown one!
2Oooh these look so yum! I may have to try that tip. I can never keep bananas in the house long enough!
On a side note, I'm on a health kick and picked up some whole wheat flour yesterday. I was planning to make some muffins for the kiddos, do I need to do anything different or are whole wheat flour and regular flour pretty much interchangeable?
3Good question jennifer76 - I would love to know too!
The muffins looks sooo good Team! Thanks for sharing!!
4jen76 - the whole wheat and all purpose are mostly interchangable. if you do a full 100% substitution, you'll end up with a much denser muffin. I've only ever done about half and half. Also, you could try whole-wheat pastry flour which is lighter than whole-wheat flour. if you try, let us know how they go.
and team, great muffins! where's mine!?
5Thanks, Yum! I'll try the half and half first. And, I'll keep my eyes open for the whole wheat pastry flour.
6MMMM. Bananas. Walnuts. What a great combo. Those look so easy. Great job, Team!
7I love banana nut bread/muffins. I can't keep bananas in this house longer than a couple of hours, but I may have to try the microwave trick.
8oo lovely! looks easy too
9Oh this looks so good Team. May have to try that microwave trick because bananas never stay in my house long enough to go brown.
10Oh and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that cooks with the laptop! lol I'll take it in there and look at the recipe or try to catch up on a show while I'm cooking. If anything ever happens to it, hubby will kill me, but that's why we got the accidental damage coverage, right? lol
11Hey I just noticed KG surpassed the 2000 member mark while I was sleeping.

12Mmmmm, I love banana bread/muffins.

be sure to grease and flour the pan!
As soon as I buy a bunch of bananas, I throw them in a plastic bag with an apple and seal it up tight, then set it on top of the fridge. You'll have brown bananas in about 3 days.
