Banana Walnut Muffins / 核桃香蕉马芬

Tak asked for blueberry muffin but I baked him banana muffin with walnuts! hehe... But, I used the blueberry muffin recipe that I jotted down somewhere. His comments: I need more banana... sweeter (he likes very sweet one)... bla...bla... since when he learned to comment?

Well, the next day he asked for the same muffin again for the following day's breakfast. The bakes will taste better and sweeter on the following day. So, be sure you bake enough to keep until the next day!
