Banana Muffins

Banana muffins are delicious, affordable, and super easy to make. So treat yourself this weekend by making a batch of banana muffins for breakfast or dessert, or just because it’s Saturday. You deserve it!

These Banana Muffins were inspired by a recipe found on the Williams-Sonoma site. The recipe is called Banana-Buttermilk Muffins on williamssonoma.com. I updated the recipe by omitting the walnuts and adding other spices and Amaretto Liquor, which contain very little alcohol. Remember, when adding any liquor, always check the alcohol content. Make sure you use a type of liquor that is best for baking and has less alcohol than the real stuff. When you bake or cook with these kinds of liquors, the alcohol evaporates, and you are left with the flavoring.

I have tried many versions of the recipe by adding Banana Liquor or Hazelnut Liquor. All variations received thumbs up. But my favorite is with the Banana Liquor. You really can taste the bananas.

One thing that I am surprised by is people are always amazed when I tell them that the recipe has wheat flour. Why are people still not embracing wheat flour? I know it is something to adjust. But try it; you will not be disappointed with this recipe.

I do not add walnuts when I make these Banana Muffins because I am not a fan of eating muffins with nuts. I think if I am eating a muffin, it should either be plain or with fruits and not with nuts. When nuts are roasted, cooked, or baked, they release their natural oil. The oil released by the walnut is more earthy and does not go well with the added extracts, spices, or liquor. I rather eat walnuts by themselves. I hope you enjoy these Banana Muffins as much as I do.

Don’t forget to omit the liquor if you make these muffins for children.
