Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large very ripe bananas (about 1½ cups mashed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Mash bananas, then whisk in melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and sour cream.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until no flour streaks remain. Batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
  4. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

For the most flavor, use bananas so ripe the peels are more brown than yellow. Muffins can be made ahead and frozen; reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
