Ingredients
Scale
- 2 and 3/4 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
- 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 your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk the melted butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until fully combined.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, gently mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over mix to avoid dry muffins!
- Fold in the blueberries and walnuts until just mixed in.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each one to the top.
- Optional: Press a few extra blueberries into the tops of each muffin and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if desired.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 24 to 26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
For an extra moist muffin, ensure bananas are very ripe before mashing.
You can substitute blueberries with other fruits like raspberries or chopped strawberries if desired.
For a dairy-free option, replace butter with coconut oil and sour cream with a dairy-free alternative.
