Banana Walnut Muffins
Whole wheat flour works perfectly with banana breads and muffins. It basically acts like a shot in the arm to the already nutty flavor. This recipe is especially moist thanks to the use of yogurt in the place of milk. The toasted walnuts create a sweet level of depth to this unbelievably simple recipe.

Wheat Pastry Flour
wheat pastry flour is milled from soft white wheat, whereas regular whole wheat flour is milled from hard red wheat. It has a lower protein content than regular whole wheat flour and it makes wonderfully tender whole grain baked goods.
4 cups white whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour
Sugar
Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.
3/4 cup sugar
Salt
Common salt or table salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride, a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite.
1 tsp salt
Baking Powder ( Soda)
Because baking powder is a leavener that contains both the sodium bicarbonate and the flavor-saving acid, it is usually paired with non-acid ingredients like whole milk and Dutch-processed cocoa. Baking soda need an acid. Baking powder has an acid.
6 tsp baking powder
Walnuts
A walnut is the nut of any tree of the genus Juglans, particularly the Persian or English walnut, Juglans regia. Technically a walnut is the seed of a drupe or drupaceous nut, and thus not a true botanical nut.
1 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
Bananas
The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains.
2 cups (approx. 2 medium) bananas, very ripe and smashed
Greek Yogurt
Strained yogurt, Greek yogurt, yogurt cheese, or labneh, is yogurt that has been strained to remove its whey, resulting in a thicker consistency than unstrained yogurt, while preserving yogurt's distinctive, sour taste.
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Butter
Butter is a solid dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk, to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk.
6 TBL unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Eggs
Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and fish, and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years.
2 eggs
Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is a syrup usually made from the xylem sap of sugar maple, red maple, or black maple trees, although it can also be made from other maple species.
1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract is a solution containing the flavor compound vanillin as the primary ingredient. Pure vanilla extract is made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethyl alcohol and water.
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a standard muffin tin or use cupcake/muffin liners. -
2In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of the walnuts and the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt and baking powder). Reserve the remaining 1/3 cup walnuts for the tops of the muffins.
-
3
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla, maple syrup/agave nectar and melted butter. Mix in the bananas. -
4In the bowl of dry ingredients, use a spatula or wooden spoon to create a large hole or well in the center. Pour the wet ingredients into the hole.
-
5
Stir and fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stop mixing as soon as the dry ingredients are completely moistened. Be careful not to overmix. It is ok to have some streaks of flour running through the batter. The batter will be thick and a bit lumpy. -
6Using two spoons or a large ice cream scoop, fill the muffin tins with the batter. Fill up to the top if you want large, coffee shop-style muffins, otherwise fill the tins only 3/4 full. Top with the reserved walnuts.
-
7
Bake 20-30 minutes or until the tops are nicely browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. -
8Remove from oven and let rest on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before removing from tin.
