Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  2. Mash bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth. Stir in melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla, then fold in sour cream.
  3. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently just until no flour streaks remain.
  4. Scoop batter evenly into the muffin pan, filling each cup nearly full.
  5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until tops spring back lightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan 2 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and serve warm.

Notes

This recipe is written for a 24-cup mini muffin pan. If your pan holds more or fewer, adjust the bake time slightly and check for doneness a minute early.
