Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 medium to large very ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts and/or pecans (other chopped nuts can be used as well)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prepare a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas until only small chunks remain. Add in melted (and cooled) butter and brown sugar and stir until well combined. Stir in beaten eggs and vanilla and stir until combined.

Notes
If desired additional chopped nuts can be added to the tops of muffins after adding the batter to the muffin pan. Simply sprinkle chopped nuts on muffin batter and very lightly press into the batter. You want them to stay on top so you can see them, but gently pressing them into the batter just a bit helps so that they do not fall off.
