Chocolate Chip and Walnut Banana Bread Muffins

"These muffins are so moist and delicious there are never any leftovers. I am a person that does not like an overabundance of banana flavour so these were just right. You can also make this into a banana loaf as well. Adapted from a recipe I found on the Food Network."

directions

  • Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs and the vanilla together. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (I use a Kitchen Aid stand mixer for this).
  • Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter while mixing until incorporated.
  • Add the bananas and stir until incorporated.
  • Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated with a spatula.
  • Pour in the walnuts and chocolate chips and gently fold into mixture.
  • Place mixture in a paper-line muffin tray and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (All tray sizes and ovens are different so keep an eye on them).

  1. These were very good! I used 1/3 whole wheat flour, and we enjoyed them very much. I would suggest using 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. baking soda though. I think you would get a better rise. Made for Fall PAC 2012
     
  2. This recipe tastes good but I think it is too banana heavy. The recipe was followed to a T but the muffins hardly rose and then fell. I have been making muffins for years and this never happened. It needs to be reworked. The muffins were made for a bake sale and they were thrown in the trash. I am surprised no one else has stated this in the reviews. Maybe you need to add more leavening and limit to 2 bananas as this is the first recipe that was a total waste of my time. Shocked this recipe is out there and highly reviewed. I just lost an afternoon.

  4. Absolutely loved this recipe, it was a huge hit. I used 1/2 a teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 a teaspoon baking soda instead. Then added some cinnamon and nutmeg.

  5. I converted this to mini muffins, and it works really well as I had little rise from this batter. I added cinnamon and nutmeg to the mix and it worked really well. I cut the recipe in half and had two full trays of minis (24) + a single regular muffin (not the tray, just a single muffin). I baked for 14-16 mins and got a little color and are cooked through. Will make again!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I became a vegetarian a couple of years ago. My husband is a big meat eater so we try to find dishes that can be created with or without meat. I love to cook and bake for everyone! Though school and work seems to get in my way a lot, I do get a lot of requests from my coworkers.
