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 Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together, then set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until well combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins moist.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
- For added decoration, press a few extra blueberries into the tops and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if desired.
- Bake for 24 to 26 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving or transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
For extra moisture, make sure your bananas are very ripe before mashing.
These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months; wrap them well and store in an airtight container.
Feel free to substitute walnuts with your favorite nuts or leave them out for a nut-free version.
