This yummy banana muffin recipe makes 12 muffins. I found it in Little Cakes from the Whimsical Bakehouse cookbook.

Mix the following together:

1 cup sugar
4 oz unsalted butter
2 large eggs

Sift together:

2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Add the following and mix to combine:

1 cup mashed bananas

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons hot water

Scoop the batter into a prepared muffin pan filling each almost to the top of the paper liner. Optional: before baking sprinkle one half cup chopped walnuts over the tops of the muffins. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes before removing them from their pan.
