Very tasty! Moist with an intoxicating aroma.
With this recipe, you can bake a standard Banana Bread in a rectangular pan. But then keep it in the oven longer (40-45 minutes). If you don’t have walnuts and raisins, use candied fruit, chopped apricots, and any nuts, such as unsalted peanuts. In addition to the walnuts and oatmeal flakes, I used some chopped peeled almonds for the sprinkles, but this is optional.

INGREDIENTS (for 9 muffins)

3 ripe (400 g with peel) bananas
1 egg
70 g (3½ tbsp) butter, melted
60 g (⅓ cup) sugar
120 g (⅔ cup + 2 tbsp) all-purpose flour
100 g (1 cup) walnuts
30 g (3 tbsp) raisins
⅓ tsp cinnamon
1 pinch of nutmeg
⅔ tsp soda
¼ tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Peel and mash the bananas with a fork.

Coarsely chop the nuts with a knife. Set aside 2 tbsp of nuts for sprinkles.
Add nuts and raisins to the dough. Mix well.
If you are using an iron muffin pan, grease it with butter. Spread the dough evenly into the molds. Mix the rest of the nuts with a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, and oatmeal. Sprinkle over the muffins.
Bake for 25-30 minutes (I baked them for 25 minutes). Check the readiness with a toothpick, it should come out clean.
Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes. Remove from the muffin pan. Enjoy!
