How to Make Banana Macadamia Nut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash one ripe banana with a fork. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts (or pecans/walnuts), and 1 large egg. Mix well with a spoon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
