It is a very basic banana muffins recipe. It uses basic pantry ingredients. This section explains what all ingredients are used in making eggless banana nut muffins, how to use or choose certain ingredients and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.

● LEAVENING AGENTS (BAKING POWDER & BAKING SODA): There’s a combination of baking powder and baking soda in this banana nut muffins to give it the perfect amount of lift.

● NUTS: Topped with mixed nuts. I used chopped almond, cashew nut, walnut and pistachio. Since it is a banana nut muffins recipe nuts are added, but you can omit them to make plain banana muffins.

The easiest and fuss-free way to mash banana is using a bowl/plate and a fork. Just peel the bananas, add them in a bowl and mash it with a fork or a potato smasher.
