Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
- Set your oven to 430°F (220°C) and line a 6-cup muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
Step 2: Prepare the ingredients
- Mash the banana and chop the walnuts. Reserve some banana slices and walnuts for topping.
Step 3: Mix the dry ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Step 4: Mix the wet ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, oil, and milk until well combined.
Step 5: Combine the batter
- Gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients. When the batter is halfway mixed, fold in the mashed banana and chopped walnuts. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Fill the muffin tins
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
- Place reserved banana slices and walnuts on top of each muffin. Sprinkle with brown sugar for a caramelized finish.
Step 7: Bake the muffins
- Bake at 430°F (220°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for another 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool the muffins
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
