Ingredients
Scale
Muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons bourbon

Instructions
Muffins
Preheat oven to 375F. Grease and flour a muffin tin.
Sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer.
Add eggs one at a time, beating about 1 minute after each. Scrape down the sides and add bananas, lemon juice, and bourbon. Beat until well mixed (it will continue to look slightly separated; that’s okay).
Add dry ingredients all at once, mixing until it’s ALMOST completely incorporated. Stir in chocolate and nuts.
Use a large ice cream scoop, if you have one, to fill the muffin tins. If you don’t, use a spoon or spatula to gently shape the tops into a dome. The tins will be almost full.
Bake 16-22 minutes, or until tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
Maple Bourbon Glaze
Whisk ingredients together. When muffins are completely cool, drizzle glaze over muffin tops.
