Banana Nut Muffins

What do you do with left over, over-ripe bananas other than banana bread?

I like a good banana bread as much as the next person, however sometimes it's not convenient to have to slice into the loaf if you want a quick snack or pick me up.  

So recently when I had a couple of too ripe bananas I decided to make banana walnut muffins.
