Banana Pecan Muffins Recipe
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1½ cups plain yogurt
- 1½ cups bananas (thinly diced)
- ¾ cup pecans (toasted and coarsely chopped)
- This recipe will make 12 jumbo muffins – or 24 regulars.
- Lightly spray muffin tins with cooking spray, or use liners. Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a medium-size bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat the butter, and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined.
- Using the electric mixer on the low-speed mix in half the flour, followed by ½ cup yogurt. Mix in the rest of the flour and add the remaining yogurt ½ cups at a time; using a large spoon mix in the diced bananas and pecans.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups. Bake jumbos for 25 to 30 minutes until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean – bake regular size for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve hot with butter on top.
