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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white sugar (100 grams)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (105 grams)
  • 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 mashed

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. Add Mashed Bananas: Stir the mashed bananas into the wet ingredient mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet banana mixture.
  6. Fold Ingredients: Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together by hand to avoid overmixing, which can make the muffins tough.
  7. Add Walnuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top. You should get 12-14 muffins.
  9. Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Notes

  • You can reduce the sugar slightly if you want less sweet muffins.
  • Use ripe brown bananas for maximum flavor and sweetness.
  • Sour cream helps keep the muffins moist and tender; room temperature ingredients blend better.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure light, fluffy muffins.
  • Walnuts can be omitted or substituted with other nuts or chocolate chips.
