Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs separated
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in an electric mixer fit with paddle attachment.
- Add the egg yolks and beat well. Blend in the bananas, vanilla, lemon juice, and walnuts.
- Mix in the flour and baking soda until fully incorporated, but don't over beat. Add hot water.
- Beat the egg whites and fold into the batter. The batter will be lumpy from the bananas and walnuts, but remember not to overbeat.
- For muffins, bake for approximately 20 minutes. (Note: Mini-loaves will take closer to 45+ minutes to bake while large loaves will take 60+ minutes. The loaves are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.)
