3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup walnuts chopped
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ripe small bananas, cut up
1/3 cup milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease six 3" by 1-1/2" muffin-pan cups. In large bowl mix dry ingredients. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissors fashion, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in walnuts. Set aside. In blender at high speed or in food processor with knife blade attached, blend bananas, eggs, milk and vanilla only a few seconds, until bananas are chopped.
Stir banana mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened. (Batter will be lumpy.) Spoon batter into muffin-pan cups (Batter will fill cups completely.)
Bake 25 to 30 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Muffins will rise very high. Immediately remove muffins from pan, serve warm. Cool on rack if desired.
Makes 6 muffins.
