How to Make Banana Orange Pecan Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 orange. Beat until well combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
