Banana Nut Muffins

By Melzie

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 TB baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg (I use 1/4 cup egg beaters)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (I use 1/3 cup apricot nectarine)
• 3/4 cup mashed banana
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into medium bowl; make a well in center.

Mix milk, eggs, oil (or nectarine) banana, and walnuts in a small bowl. Pour mixture into well.

Mix batter just until moistened; do not over mix.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or until muffins are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
