Hello everyone,
What will we eat for breakfast? That's a recurring question in my family and most of the time the answer is "bubur" (rice porridge) or cake, we rarely cook bread as the process is very long while a cake can be cooked within the hour. so "what do we eat for breakfast?" my wife asked and my answer was "I have no idea"... We are at one of those point where we feel that we already cooked whatever is possible to cook and whenever we try to think about what to eat... we end up recooking something we cooked before. While if we just take a few seconds to think about it, there are still a lot to explore, and recooking the same dishes is a lazy move. So, she suggested that I cook a banana cake, again; in order to finish the bananas that were starting to turn bad. I was not enthusiastic about it as even if it is a recipe that I cooked a few times and that we both love; it was nothing new to us. As a matter of fact, as I wandered on Reddit, I saw a post about a guy who bought a huge quantity of banana (mistake from his grocer) and didn't know what to do with all those. And the thread gave me an idea: banana walnuts muffin.
It is probably nothing new to most of you but, as I am not a big fan of muffins, because they tend to be too dry I find, plus the amount of milk needed was meaning that I would have to replace about 1/3 of the whole recipe by something else to be able to cooking them with what I can find here. Fortunately, my wife bought a while back some nuts and there were quite a few walnuts among them, enough to actually bake those muffins and get rid of the walnuts that neither my wife nor me appreciate on their own. But combined to something else, walnuts can turned out to be a fantastic addition.
For this recipe, I was expecting a failure to be honest... but the result turned out OK, more than OK actually, those muffins were delicious, to the point I am thinking about a whole variation that I will feed on this blog... once I actually cook them...
A great mid-day snack that everyone loves.

- Mix the butter and the sugar until your mixture become homogeneous.

Ideas:
Despite being good, those muffins could probably be improved if the egg white is beaten in snow for a lighter pastry.
I have tons of ideas on which fruits to mix with what so I am probably going to post another muffin recipe soon. I am thinking about banana chocolate, avocado chocolate, papaya hazelnuts and many more...
