How to Make Banana Buttermilk Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium), ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Sprinkle the tops evenly with ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy these delicious muffins fresh or freeze them for later! Reheat in the microwave for a warm treat.
