Banana Nut Muffins are easy-to-make breakfast treats with a sweet moist crumb. A hint of cinnamon and crunchy walnuts add the perfect touch to a classic banana muffin.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ripe bananas (about 2 cups mashed)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ¼ cup chopped walnuts, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Line regular sized muffin tin with paper liners or spray with baking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined.
  3. Add in bananas. Mix until creamy. Add in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until combined. Fold in the sour cream until blended.
  4. Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Using a medium sized cookie scoop, fill each well about ⅔rds full. Top each muffin with a few additional chopped walnuts.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops have lightly browned.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan about 15 minutes, then remove and cool on wire rack.

Notes

  • For a dark, non-stick muffin pan, decrease the baking time by 1-2 minutes to prevent over-baking and browning.
  • For jumbo sized muffins, we used double the amount of batter for each well. We baked 6 at a time and the baking time was about 28-30 minutes.
  • Ripen Bananas in the oven in just 20 minutes. The browner the better!
  • Store muffins in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze muffins in freezer safe container (or ziploc bag) for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
  • Make bread! This moist muffin recipe is based off our favorite sour cream banana bread.
