Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter , softened (1 stick)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar , packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon table salt or fine sea salt
- 1 ¼ cups ripe banana , mashed (about 3 medium bananas)
Optional: 1 1/2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two muffin tins with paper liners. Spray with nonstick spray.
- Cream butter and sugar. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup sour cream and stir just until combined.
- Add dry ingredients including 2 1/4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt. Slowly combine with the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in 1 1/4 cups mashed banana and 1 cup of chocolate chips (if adding).
- Fill the muffin liners 2/3 of the way full. If adding chocolate chips, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup evenly over the top of the muffins.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
If making half regular and half with chocolate chips, use 3/4 cup chocolate chips.
