Batter: In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, then add in the sugar, milk, melted butter, oil and egg, proceed to mix with the same fork. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract, just until the flour is moistened. Now, fold in the walnuts into the batter.

Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 375ºF for an additional 10 minutes, until a tooth pick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean. Immediately remove the muffins from pan, let cool on a plate or rack. Serve once cooled and enjoy!
