Equipment

standard 12-count muffin tin
cupcake wrappers
conventional oven
2 mixing bowls
wooden spoon
Whisk
ice cream scoop

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
4 small overripe bananas the riper the better
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup candied walnuts

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
Line the muffins tin with cupcake liners.
Mash bananas until slightly chunky and smooth.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl mix extract, egg, granulated sugar, and applesauce. Add in the bananas and combine.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Combine with batter until just mixed. You will still have some small lumps and that is okay!
Fill muffin liners with batter. It is okay to go almost all the way to the top as long as you are not overflowing the batter.
Sprinkle muffin batter with candied walnuts.
Bake muffins for 20 minutes or until a fork inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. The muffins will be slightly golden brown and firm and springy to the touch.
