Banana Nut Muffins (With Vegan modifications)

As a need-to-get-rid-of-overripe-bananas recipe, I got this recipe from my mom for banana nut muffins. Had to make it as a vegan recipe once. It comes out well in both cases.

Original Recipe:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1.5 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp baking powder
1 cup oil
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
4 mashed bananas
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 c chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 F
Use muffin cups or grease a muffin tin
 Mix the dry ingredients together
Mix the wet ingredients together
Mix the wet and the dry ingredients together
Spoon into the muffin cup
Cook for ~25 minutes. They should be done when a toothpick comes out clean.


I prefer the muffins without chocolate chips. I've also used walnuts, pecans, and almonds in various incarnations of this recipe to good effect. I also would modify it to only use 1.5 cups sugar. These muffins as written are very sweet.

Vegan modification: use ~3 extra bananas instead of the eggs, and leave out some of the sugar. The ones I made came out very well but very sweet using two cups of sugar.
