Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
3. In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
4. Add the white sugar, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. If using, gently fold in the chopped cashews and chocolate chip.
7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, take them out of the oven for 5-10 minutes, put the back into the oven and bake them for another 10 minutes.
  A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum flavour and sweetness.
- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay for tender muffins.
- For added crunch, sprinkle a few extra roasted and chopped cashews on top before baking.
- For the ultimate flavour, add 1 package of Lotus Biscoff Cookies slightly crushed.
