Steps
- mash3 minbananas to a chunky puréespotted-black bananas with a fork, some small lumps surviving — the lumps bake into pockets of concentrated banana, and the ripeness rule is the same economics as the bread: the freezer is where this recipe's main ingredient comes from
- whisk3 minwet: banana + melted butter + brown sugar + egg + vanillain one bowl; dry (flour + soda + powder + salt + cinnamon) in another — the muffin method's whole premise is that the two sides meet exactly once, briefly
- fold2 minten strokes, lumps welcome, add-ins on stroke eightFold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, adding the listed chopped walnuts with the final strokes. Stop while the batter remains lumpy and just combined; this branch uses walnuts as its measured add-in.
- bake19 min425°F for 5 minutes, then 350°F for ~14 — the dome trickcups filled generously to the brim (a modest fill makes a modest muffin), oats pinched on top, into the hot oven — the initial blast springs the crown upward before the structure sets, then the drop finishes the interior; tester clean at the dome's center
- rest8 min5 in the tin, then rackedbriefly — muffins are the rare bake meant warm, and their whole argument over banana bread is timeline: forty minutes from black bananas to breakfast instead of ninety
