How I Keep These Muffins Moist

An issue that a lot of recipes online run into is keeping muffins moist. I’ve made quite a few muffin recipes in my day and have found just the right combination of ingredients to keep things nice and soft. Here’s how I do it for this banana nut muffin recipe:

  • Oil: The first ingredient is oil. I like using vegtable or canola oil but you can use any light flavored oil, such as grapeseed oil. Or even melted butter!
  • Sour Cream: The addition of sour cream brings not only that slightly tangy flavor but also tons of moisture. A great substitute for this ingredient is greek yogurt.
  • Ripe Bananas: And lastly is using ripe bananas. Wait till those peels go brown! You can always freeze ripe bananas and pull them out when you’re ready to use.

Banana Nut Muffin Additions

While my kids prefer their banana muffins without nuts, I prefer them with! I love the crunch and the texture they bring and walnuts are just a classic combination with banana. You can also add or substitute other ingredients into this recipe to create your own version. Here are some ideas:

  • oatmeal
  • other kinds of nuts
  • chocolate chips
  • peanut butter swirl
  • peanut butter chips

Preheat Oven + Prep Pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners and set them aside. Of course, you can just spray your pans with nonstick cooking spray and forgo the paper liners.

Can I make mini banana nut muffins?

Yes! If you have a mini cupcake pan you can absolutely make mini muffins! Line the tin with mini paper liners or spray well with nonstick cooking spray. Your baking time should be shorter, bake until a toothpick comes out clean!

In a large bowl, stir oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla together until well combined. Stir in mashed banana and sour cream. Pour flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chopped walnuts (or any other additional ingredients you want).

Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins until filled 2/3 of the way. Top with more walnuts.

Storing Banana Nut Muffins

Banana Nut Muffins are best enjoyed the same day as making them! However, that doesn’t mean you can’t keep them for later. Store in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or in the fridge for a week!

Also, I highly recommend warming these up in the microwave and slathering some butter on these babies!
