Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar (100 grams)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (105 grams)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (112 grams), melted
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 3 medium large brown bananas, mashed (about 1 1/3 cups)

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  4. Add Mashed Bananas: Stir the mashed bananas into the wet ingredient mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet banana mixture into it.
  6. Fold Batter Gently: Using a spatula or spoon, gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together by hand until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  7. Add Walnuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners, filling each one to the top. You should have about 12 to 14 muffins.
  9. Bake Muffins: Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then without removing the pan, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • For less sweet muffins, reduce the amount of brown and white sugar by half.
  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Sour cream adds moisture and a slight tang; you can substitute with plain yogurt if needed.
  • Ensure eggs and sour cream are at room temperature to improve batter texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and fluffy.
