Enjoy these moist and flavorful banana nut muffins, perfect for a quick homemade treat that combines ripe bananas with crunchy nuts.

0.5 cup unsalted butter (Use melted butter for a rich, moist texture.)
0.6667 cup light brown sugar (Lightly packed for the perfect balance of sweetness.)
2 large eggs (Ensure they’re at room temperature for better blending.)
2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (The riper, the sweeter!)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (A splash of vanilla elevates the flavor.)
1.75 cups all-purpose flour (For a fluffy structure that holds together beautifully.)
1 teaspoon baking soda (This will give your muffins a lovely rise.)
0.25 teaspoon salt (Enhances the overall flavor of the muffins.)
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (A warm spice that complements bananas beautifully.)
0.5 cup chopped nuts (Choose any nut for an added crunch!)
0.25 cup brown sugar (A sweet, crunchy topping for that extra sweetness.)
2-3 tablespoons chopped nuts (Use the same nuts as in the batter.)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla; mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in chopped nuts. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Top with a sprinkle of brown sugar and chopped nuts.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.

For extra flavor, add a handful of chocolate chips or dried fruit to the batter.
