Banana Bread Muffins with Almond Butter
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 cup almond butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, egg, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30-35 minutes
Variations:
* Try substituting chia seeds or flaxseeds for the chopped walnuts for added nutrition and crunch.
* Use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
* Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the muffins before baking for an extra boost of flavor.
* Make a batch of muffins using whole wheat flour for a nutty, wholesome twist.
* Use peanut butter or cashew butter instead of almond butter for a different flavor profile.
Tips and Tricks:
* Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
* Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough muffins.
* If using chopped nuts, toast them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to bring out their natural oils and flavors.
* Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
