Prepare the Dry Ingredients
Start by sifting the whole wheat flour, baking powder, caster sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together and set them aside. -
Mash the Bananas
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or your hands until smooth. This step releases the natural sweetness and moisture, which will contribute to the softness of the muffins. -
Mix Wet Ingredients
To the mashed bananas, add the vegetable oil and milk. Use a whisk or hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. -
Incorporate the Cashew Nuts
Gently fold in the chopped cashew nuts into the banana mixture, adding a lovely crunch to each bite of your muffin. -
Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) in convection mode. This will ensure your muffins bake evenly and develop a nice rise. -
Prepare the Muffin Tray
Line the muffin tray with cupcake liners to prevent sticking. Spoon the batter into each cup, filling them only about 3/4 full to allow space for the muffins to rise during baking. -
Bake the Muffins
Bake the muffins for about 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them after 20 minutes to ensure they don’t overbake. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, your muffins are ready. If not, let them bake for an additional 5 minutes. -
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
