How to Make Whole Wheat Banana Butterscotch Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer 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.
