Equipment

  • Jumbo Muffin Pan
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients
  

Batter

  • 4 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream or yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • Chopped pecans
  • Coarse Sugar (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your jumbo muffin pan with jumbo liners.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the 4 ripe bananas until smooth. Add the dark brown sugar, white sugar, melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream (or yogurt). Stir everything together until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
  • Scoop and Fill: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the muffin batter evenly into the muffin liners. Fill each liner about ¾ of the way full.
  • Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped pecans and a light dusting of coarse sugar on top of each muffin to give them a nice crunch and shine.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
