Banana Walnut Muffins

These muffins are Rudiger's favorite. Moist and sweet, slightly chewy with that surprise crunch of the walnuts--yummy! Here's the recipe: (makes 12 medium-size muffins)
* 3 ripe bananas, mashed
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 cups whole grain flour (I recommend spelt)
* 1/2 to 3/4 cup sucanat or other natural, unrefined sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
* 1/2 cup almond, soy, or rice milk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 12-cup muffin pan. Mix the mashed bananas with the olive oil in a small mixing bowl, set aside. In a larger mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder and stir well. Add in the banana mixture along with the milk and walnuts. Mix just until everything comes together. Fill the muffin cups with the batter just shy of the top, and bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are brown.
