Ingredients

  • MUFFINS:
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup shortening, chilled
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • CINNAMON/SUGAR MIXTURE:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon, ground
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How To Make banana nut monkey bread muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray & set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt & baking soda. Cut in the chilled shortening using a pastry cutter or 2 forks until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the mashed bananas & milk & stir together with a fork just until the dough comes together.
  • Step 3
    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface & knead 8 times, adding a little bit of flour if the dough is still sticky. Roll dough into tsp-size balls.
  • Step 4
    In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar & cinnamon. In a separate small bowl, melt the 1/2 C butter. Roll dough balls in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar. Place 4 - 6 dough balls in each muffin cup & add 1 tbsp nuts on top of each muffin.
  • Step 5
    Bake 15 - 20 minutes, or until done & a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Remove from oven & allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Gently remove muffins from pan by running a knife around the edges & allow to cool completely before icing.
  • Step 7
    When cool, make the icing by whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk & vanilla. Drizzle over muffins using a fork. Serve warm.
