Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour leveled
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 2 bananas
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar or bakers sugar for topping (not granulated sugar)
Instructions
- Prep your tools. Preheat your oven to 425ºF. Spray a muffin tin with PAM or cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix and set aside.
- Mash the banana. In a large bowl, mash the banana with a potato masher or fork until there are no large chunks left.
- Combine wet ingredients. To the bowl with the mashed banana, add the butter, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and maple syrup. Mix well.
- Add dry ingredients. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until there are no dry bits of batter left.
- Prep for baking. Add the batter to the prepared tin. Fill each muffin tin almost to the top. Sprinkle a bit of raw sugar on top of the wet batter.
- Bake. Transfer the muffin pan to the oven and bake for 5 minutes at 425ºF. Starting at this higher temperature will help the muffins get a nice dome on top. Then, reduce the temperature to 375ºF and continue baking for 13-15 minutes, until the muffins are light golden brown and the tops spring back when pressed with your finger gently.
- Cool. Remove the pan from the oven, transfer the muffins to a cooling rack, and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
