How to cook deliciously - Banana Nut Muffins

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg, banana and vanilla. Editor's Tip: Feel free to leave some larger chunks of banana in the batter if you prefer more texture. Otherwise, beat it in until smooth.

2. Stage

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and beat just until moistened. Editor's Tip: Once you add the flour mixture, you want to beat or mix with a light hand. Overmixing creates a tough muffin. Fold in the walnuts.

3. Stage

Coat muffin cups with cooking spray, or use paper liners. Fill each muffin cup two-thirds full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 23 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let muffins cool for five minutes. Remove the muffins from the muffin tin, and transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm. Editor's Tip: It's perfectly acceptable to wait for your muffins to come to room temp before you enjoy one. Just be sure to remove them from the muffin tins after five minutes, or you risk them oversteaming in the tins and becoming soggy.
