  2. GATHER YOUR INGREDIENTS

    ⅓ cup macadamia nuts, toasted and chopped fine

    ⅓ cup (⅔ ounce) sweetened flaked coconut, toasted

    1⅔ cups (9⅛ ounces) bread flour

    1 tablespoon baking powder

    ½ teaspoon baking soda

    ½ teaspoon table salt

    4–5 very ripe large bananas, peeled and mashed (2 cups)

    ½ cup (3½ ounces) plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided

    2 large eggs

    ⅓ cup vegetable oil

    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  6. My mom's standard recipe used chopped walnuts and optional golden raisins. A wee bit of fresh nutmeg on top before going into the oven. This was another variation I came up with on my own (using AP flour) but without the sugar on top and again, a wee bit of fresh nutmeg before going into the oven.

  14. Oh my, can't wait to make these! I live in a condo and always give some to my neighbors because I know they can smell them baking. I bake early in the morning so everyone can have a fresh muffin with their coffee. Thanks Becky!

  16. I’ve been using your Best Banana Bread recipe for muffins for years, subbing out 15% whole wheat flour, half butter and half oil (your recipe calls for all butter), and putting an oat streusel on top. Phenomenal every time. I’ll give these a go though. They seem a bit less complex!

  21. These muffins look fantastic!!! I like trying different banana bread recipes and thus far, I've not had a bad one!

    PS. Word of caution while shopping for the macadamia nuts: I live in California in a decently sized city of about 67,000 people and I've noticed that most of the time, whenever I've looked at purchasing plain macadamia nuts, especially those sold in the small bags displayed in the baking aisle alongside the other nuts, as opposed to those sold in the snack aisle, which are usually salted or possibly roasted, seasoned, or covered in chocolate, they are often way past their "best by" / expiration date, and as we all know, macadamia nuts are some of the most expensive nuts on the market, so just be sure to check the dates on the packages before you spend your hard-earned dollars on these tasty treats.

    Happy baking everyone and thank you ATK for sharing another great recipe with all of us!!! ❤️
