- 1 tablespoon (14g) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup (106g) light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (170g) full-fat sour cream
- 1 cup (227g) mashed ripe banana
- 1 pint (292g) fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sparkling sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; set it aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until well mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, using a rubber spatula to mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries and walnuts gently until only combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each one all the way to the top.
- Press a few extra blueberries into the tops of each muffin and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if using.
- Bake for 24 to 26 minutes in the center of the middle rack, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
For an extra fruity flavor, consider adding additional blueberries on top of each muffin before baking.
Make sure your bananas are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness in the muffins.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
