Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Banana Walnut Cranberry Muffins Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare 16 muffin cups with paper liners for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt, whisking them together until they form a harmonious blend.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together white sugar, melted butter, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Gently fold in the mashed bananas, dried cranberries, and half of the chopped walnuts, creating a delightful medley of flavors.
Step 5
Carefully incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined; remember, a few lumps are perfectly fine—overmixing is not your friend.
Step 6
Spoon the luscious batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for that perfect rise.
Step 7
For a delightful topping, mix brown sugar with 3 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl, then cut in cubed butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbles.
Step 8
Stir in the remaining walnuts for an added crunch.
Step 9
Generously sprinkle this walnut crumble over the muffin batter in each cup, adding a touch of sweetness and texture.
Step 10
Bake your muffins in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that they are ready.
Step 11
Once baked to perfection, let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Enjoy the warm, inviting aroma as they cool, and savor the deliciousness that awaits!.
