Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose or whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 to 2 1/4 cups mashed bananas (17-18 ounces, about 4-5 medium bananas)
• 1 cup (7.5 ounces) light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup (4 ounces) melted butter or neutral-flavored oil
• 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups add-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, etc)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, brown sugar, melted butter or oil, sour cream, milk and eggs until well-combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain. If adding add-ins like chocolate chips, stir them in when there are still a few dry streaks remaining. Don't over mix or the muffins might be tough and dry in texture.
5. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling the muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 15-17 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs and the top of the muffins spring back lightly to the touch.
6. Let cool for 1-2 minutes in the muffin tin before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.m

Notes

Half Batch: this recipe can easily be halved to make 10-12 muffins. As a sidenote, the baked and cooled muffins freeze great.
Applesauce: I haven't tried replacing the butter/oil with applesauce, but you could experiment.
