Banana, Walnut ,and Bourbon Muffins

It happens every time we buy bananas – we eat a few and then the rest of the bunch sits on the counter getting over ripe. I finally decided that it was time for the bananas to get put to use this past weekend and wanted to make some banana bread muffins with them. September is National Bourbon Heritage Month so I felt like this should be a necessary ingredient for this round of muffins. Brad also requested some nuts in them. I don’t actually like nuts, but because I love Brad, he got some chopped walnuts included. Next time I will probably make a double batch and do walnuts in his and chocolate chips in mine.

Banana, Walnut, & Bourbon Muffins

Banana, Bourbon, and Walnut Muffin Recipe I opted to make muffins instead of standard banana bread for a couple reasons. First, I’m impatient and didn’t want to wait an hour for the bread to bake; and second, muffins are more likely to be eaten before they dry out.

Banana, Walnut, and Bourbon Muffin Recipe We couldn’t wait until these muffins were cool enough to enjoy. They were so moist and delicious! I can definitely see this recipe being one that I make again the next time I have overripe bananas.

    Girl, you had me at banana and bourbon! We’re the same way with bananas and there always seems to be a lonely three left by the time we’ve had our fill. Now I know what I’ll be making next time!

    Real question: does ANYONE finish a whole bunch of bananas before they’re brown?! I never have. Good thing banana bread is so good – and these look amazing!
