Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 8 extra large muffin cups or 15 standard muffin cups.
  • Beat together butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas until smooth.
  • Mix together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Alternately stir flour mixture and buttermilk into egg mixture until dry ingredients are just moistened.
  • Stir in nuts and vanilla. Do not overmix batter. It should not be completely smooth.
  • Spoon batter into either of the prepared pans, filling cups 2/3 full. Bake until lightly golden, 23 to 25 minutes for larger cups and 15 to 18 minutes for the standard size cups. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Turn out onto rack. Serve warm. Makes 12 muffins. Enjoy!
