Today I am sharing with all of you this delicious recipe for Banana Nut Muffins from the great folks over at Domino Sugar. This recipe doesn't use regular granulated sugar, it uses the new Domino Light Sugar which is a blend of pure sugar cane and Stevia. I made these muffins a few weeks ago and they were moist, flavorful and delicious! This recipe will make approximately 2 dozen average sized muffins.

Banana Nut Muffins Recipe

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 large (or 4 small) ripe bananas
1/2 cup Domino Light Sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 12-cup muffin pans, or line with paper baking cups, set aside.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, combine the peeled bananas and Domino Light Sugar, beating for about 3 minutes. Add the melted butter, large eggs and the vanilla extract, beat well. Reduce the speed and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts.

Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups until half full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
