These muffins are fluffy, flavorful, and ideal for breakfast or as a snack. I will guide you step by step on how to make them, providing useful tips and variations to customize them to your taste. Ingredients: - 2 packets of dry yeast (about 14 grams) - 2 tablespoons of sugar - 400 grams of flour - 1 pinch of salt - 2 ripe bananas - 50 grams of chopped walnuts (you can also use other nuts or hazelnuts, according to your preference) - 1 egg - 50 grams of melted butter Step 1: Activating the yeast Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, combine the 2 packets of dry yeast with 5 tablespoons of warm water (about 37-40 degrees Celsius). Add 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons of sugar and mix gently. Let the mixture sit in a warm place for about 15 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step is essential to ensure that the yeast is active and will make the muffins fluffy. Step 2: Preparing the dry ingredients In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure that the salt and sugar are evenly distributed. Step 3: Preparing the mixture In another bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas with a fork until they become a puree. This step not only improves the texture of the muffins but also gives them a sweet and natural flavor. Add the beaten egg and melted butter, mixing well. Then, pour the activated yeast mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix. Step 4: Combining the ingredients Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to incorporate the flour. Do not overmix - it is enough to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Finally, add the chopped walnuts and mix gently to distribute them evenly. Step 5: Let the dough rise Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. The dough will rise beautifully, becoming airy and fluffy. Step 6: Baking the muffins Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Fill the muffin tins with the risen dough, leaving about 1 cm space to the edge. Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Step 7: Cooling and serving After removing them from the oven, let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely. These muffins are delicious served warm but are just as good at room temperature. You can serve them with a glass of milk or a cup of aromatic coffee. Possible variations: - Add dark or white chocolate chopped into small pieces for an extra flavor boost - Replace walnuts with almonds or hazelnuts for a different texture - You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a more aromatic taste These banana and walnut muffins are not only easy to make but also full of flavor and nutrients. I wish you success in cooking and hope you enjoy every bite!
