INGREDIENTS
 

  • 3 eggs
  • 150 g sugar 5.3 oz
  • 220 ml sunflower oil 7.8 oz
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 250 g flour 8.8 oz
  • 1 baking powder 7g / 0.25 oz
  • 125 g walnuts ground into small pieces 4.4 oz
  • 125 g walnut halves for decoration 4.4 oz
  • 1 large banana or 2 small ones
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 2 packets of vanilla sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter

PREPARATION

  • If you don't like the taste of cinnamon, use vanilla sugar or lemon zest.
  • I have reduced the amount of sugar since the video was uploaded. The recipe originally called for 250 g (8.8 oz) of sugar.
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C (320° F)
  • Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until pale, then add the oil while continuing to whisk.
  • Add the sifted baking powder then the flour. Mix well to make the batter light and airy. Then incorporate the coarsely ground walnuts (some pieces should remain).
  • Melt the butter in a pan, add the banana cubes, cinnamon or vanilla sugar. Stir to coat the banana pieces without crushing them. Remove from heat and incorporate into the batter. Mix well.
  • Fill a piping bag without a nozzle with the batter or use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups.
  • Fill the cups 3/4 full and place a walnut half or several small pieces on top.
  • Bake for about thirty minutes, more or less depending on your oven. A skewer inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Place them on a rack and let them cool. Store them in an airtight container.
