Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
Add egg, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Stir well to combine.
Add the Bisquick baking mix to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in walnuts if using.
Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
• Brown or even blackened bananas lend the best banana flavor. • For a vegan version, use a flax egg and swap in plant-based milk or oil. • Mini chocolate chips can be subbed for walnuts—or used in addition for extra joy! • Muffins freeze beautifully. Defrost individually in the microwave or oven as needed.
