I’m not a cook; my culinary skills begin and end at the microwave. But, this banana coffee muffin recipe seems pretty straightforward; it should be doable for even the kitchen-challenged, like me.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of chopped pecans (they can be raw or toasted)
• 4 ripe bananas (you’ll want to smash those suckers up)
• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 ½ tablespoon of strong coffee (check out our coffee selection)
• Pinch salt

Baking Directions
When you’re ready to get started, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you grease a muffin tin that has at least 12 cups or, if you prefer, use paper liners.

Throw your butter, bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla, and coffee into a big bowl and mix it all together. Then, add the salt and baking soda and continue to mix. After that, pour the flour into your bowl and mix until the batter has a good consistency and add the pecans.

Pour your batter into the muffin tin, divvying it up into equal parts. That’s it; throw that baby into the oven for 20-30 minutes and you’ve got some killer banana coffee muffins!

Hint: Let the muffin tin cool on a rack after it is done baking. If you’re not sure whether the muffins are ready, stick a toothpick into a random muffin, if the toothpick comes out clean, then you’re good to go!
