Bakery Style Banana Nut Muffins (video)

These banana nut muffins are soft, fluffy, loaded with banana flavor, and have a golden brown muffin top sprinkled with crunchy toasted walnuts.

I’ve received quite a few requests for a banana muffin recipe from fans of my Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins. So, here it is!

It’s just as easy to make and just as delicious as my chocolate chip muffin recipe that you know and love. These banana nut muffins have a super high muffin top that you just want to break off and sink your teeth into. For me personally, a gorgeous muffin top is the biggest selling point of a muffin. Weak muffin top – weak muffin.

This recipe is super easy to follow. There is no mixer required, you just whip the batter up by hand and bake. I use the same baking technique in this recipe as I do with most of my muffin recipes. I start with a high oven temperature of 425F to get that initial rise from the batter, then bake at 375F till it’s cooked through.

These muffins are bursting with fruit flavor, nutty and have a hint of cinnamon spice. The texture is soft and fluffy. The method is quick and easy. They make for a fast and tasty breakfast and/or a satisfying snack.
