Banana Walnut Muffins: What Are They Made of?
They’re precisely how they sound: they’re made with ripe bananas and walnuts.
Bananas: Black bananas are the ideal bananas for banana bread or muffins. Your banana bread (or banana walnut bread in this case) will be as sweeter as much more black dots your ripe banana has.
I used chopped walnuts today because I prefer them larger in baked items, so your muffin has a lovely crunch.
Important Tips:
- Be careful not to over mix the batter. This will make the muffins hard as the more gluten is released when you stir, the harder muffins.
- Air-fry the muffins in an instant. The batter is ready.
- Allow them to cool slightly after air-frying them; the muffins will keep baking even after being removed from the air fryer.
- Swap out the nuts if you don’t like walnuts; alternatives include pecans, hazelnuts, and macadamia nuts.
Is It Possible to Store These Muffins?
Allow them to chill to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container. They should keep for 1 to 2 days at room temperature.
If you want to keep them for a more extended period, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they should survive for approximately a week.
What to Serve Them With?
For a special treat, top them with chocolate chips. Serve with honey, butter, or your favorite jam as a topping.
