♥ Banana Nut Muffins ♥

I made these this week and, boy, are they GOOOOD.


I used a NEW Banana Bread recipe
but wanted to make muffins and....
so I did !
MAYONNAISE....???
I remembered that my Aunt Lillian made a cake using mayo years ago...
and it was so moist and good.
So, I went for it...
AND...I've never, EVER made Banana Bread without pecans so I added those.

BANANA NUT MUFFINS


Is this not the prettiest ceramic muffin pan you've ever seen ?
My great blogging friend, PATTI, sent this to me for a 
JUST BECAUSE gift 
and I just LOVE it.
"Thanks so much, again, Patti"



I've been buying adorable cupcake liners for several years and love displaying them in a tall jar in my kitchen....

...aren't they pretty....so colorful and fun.


and I wanted to show you my cute new measuring cups...


on the clearance table at
PIER 1

also picked up a darling new white dish on sale there and will show it to you soon.















As you know, to make a really GREAT Banana Bread or cake,
the bananas need to be really ripe for that sweet, intense flavor.

I had 2 dark bananas left and peeled them, into a ziplock freezer bag
and into the freezer for another batch of muffins when I get a couple more
ripe bananas.


These turned out so moist and LIGHT they nearly fly off the plate.

My next recipe for the banana muffins involves SOUR CREME...ummmmm




I hope you have a BANANA NUT MUFFIN kind of day......xoxo

    Sounds and looks delicious, I enjoy banana cake and banana loaf. And if the cake should last so long as to go a little dry, well I heat it in the microwave and add cream or ice cream, instant dessert :)

    These sound so delish. Mayo is after all, eggs so I can see why that's an ingredient.

    Thanks BJ!

    I remember making 'mayonnaise cake' years back and it was so moist and yummy. I think of coarse that would work for muffins. The muffin pan is super, extra special. What a special friend.

    Love Banana Muffins, but instead of nuts I use chocolate chips!! Very pretty muffin pan, I would be afraid to use it.

    God bless.

    I bake muffins but they are from a package and in an old muffin pan. In fact, going today and look for a better one. Nothing fancy at my place, but do enjoy seeing your neat, creative ideas.

    What s gorgeous muffin pan!!! I love banana nut. I wish I could somehow make only the delicious crusty muffin tops. They should invent a really shallow muffin pan. But maybe then it would just be a cookie. Lol Loved your colorful post, bj.

    Banana nut muffins, one of my favorites! Love the ceramic muffin pan. That's a good idea on displaying your muffin (cupcake) papers, I just may have to do that.

    Cutest muffin pan ever. I wish you'd posted this three days ago, before I threw out my blackish bananas, too squishy to eat! They would have been perfect!

    Good Morning BJ, I am trying to catch up with friends this cold morning. Your banana nut muffins sound yummy and I really like your muffin pan and liners. The kids would have a blast picking from your stash as to what liners to use. I would like to try them, but with only being me I would eat them all. Not good. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley

    Joyful Kitchen is exactly the right description!! Your photos are always so light and colourful, and all your little vignettes are put together with an artist's eye.

    What a sweet pan, and even sweeter friend. Isn't it amazing the folks we've met and come to love and enjoy through this weird collection of wires and machines and air-waves?

    We had quite a few loaves of Banana Bread from my mother's recipe this Christmas, enjoying them at breakfast, or with a cup of coffee mid-morning, or a sweet bite after a salad lunch. I typed up the recipe on my very first computer years ago, on her very last visit up here to see us. I sat and typed as she dictated, and then we printed out a bunch for the family.

    I can just see her face now, head thrown back and laughing at the last line I'd added at the bottom: Makes two loaves. AND SEND ME ONE.

    Good memory this iron-cold morning, with the house still sort of disarranged and out of sorts after Caro's bad health scare and hospitalization last week. But she'd feeling all well and rarin' to go back to work. Blessings abound. And lots for you, too.

    My mouth is watering for some banana nut muffins, love all the new treasures you have, Bj! I have heard the mayo makes cakes very moist, thanks for sharing the recipe!.
    Enjoy your week,

    I am still hosting Mosaic Monday BJ, I just prefer to link to the party myself from another post I've put up.
    Your new ceramic muffin tin is very nice! I made a chocolate cake once with mayo but mostly use sour cream in some of my muffin recipes.

    BJ I adore your love of play in feathering your nest. Very pretty muffin pan, reminds me of Pennsylvania Dutch with the designs. Me too loving fancy cupcake liners, pretty pretty. I just used leopard ones. Banana Nut, hmmmm, enjoy the taste, haven't had for awhile...

    YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM I wish I wouldn't have eaten that last banana this morning, those muffins and the recipe is worth a try- they look so good (and itis such a challenge to bake moist ones!)

    Do you still have those colorful teacup measuring cups you won from Finch Rest? If I recall they'd kinda match that awesome muffin pan you were gifted! Your collection of liners is awesome - great idea to just have a bunch on hand to display like that! : - )

    Hugs! ♥♥♥

    First of all, George and Barbara are making me feel so young! Wait until I show John...he was born the year they married.

    If I can ever keep a banana or two long enough to use in baking it will be a miracle. I remember those mayo cakes...they were good!

So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
