The aroma of these muffins baking is intoxicating ♥

I have these Banana Nut Muffins baking in the oven, right now this very moment. Let me say…the aroma is absolutely intoxicating! I’m practically floating thru the house into the kitchen following the scent trail. (There was a cartoon character who used to do that. For the life of me, I can’t remember who it was!?)

There are many recipes that are so normal, so common, that at times they get overlooked. The basics. Shall we go back to basics for a bit?

The basics shouldn’t be overlooked. These recipes are foundations that can be built upon with countless variations. Switch up fruits, fats, flours – the possibilities are endless.

So simple to make & bake!

I make these banana nut muffins often. They go together quickly, are moist, delicious, full of flavor and stay fresh for days. They’re great for breakfast, dessert or a sweet snack.

I hear muffins like this freeze well, but they never last long enough to make it to the freezer. I bake & store them in THIS pan with a lid from Wilton. Cupcakes too – click for link.

These muffins take just minutes to put together and 25 minutes to bake. Probably takes less time & effort to bake a batch then it would to get dressed and head out to a bakery and buy a few. How’s that for keeping it simple?

Nuts – To Toast or Not To Toast

Onto nuts – to toast or not to toast. Really, this all depends on your tastes and what you are making. A lot of people will insist that it’s a must for the best flavor – but that just isn’t always so….

I toasted the walnuts for these muffins, this time. Sometimes I don’t – really, the sprinkling of walnuts on top of the muffins get toasted nicely while baking without any extra effort. More “for instances” you say…? I would toast macadamia nuts in a cookie but wouldn’t toast walnuts in a Turkish walnut cake. See – it’s all in your preferences.

I hope you enjoy these muffins. Quick, simple and delicious – it’s everything you want in a Banana Nut Muffin!

Happy Baking!
