Banana Bread Muffins
Servings 12
Equipment
- Muffin pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed very well (about 1 ½ cups)
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Prepare the banana bread muffins by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the well-mashed banana, sour cream, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until very well combined.
- Lightly fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the muffin pan, filling each cup to the top.
- Sprinkle the tops with coarse turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and continue to cook for 13-15 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Serve and enjoy. Side Note: Baking at a higher temperature, then reducing it, helps create the high muffin dome.
