Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.25 cup flax seed meal

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 2

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the bananas.

Step 5

Mix in the self-rising flour and flax seed meal until just incorporated; fold in the walnuts.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes for muffins, or 1 hour for a loaf. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
