  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 18 mini muffins

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (measured then sifted)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 3 Tbsp sour cream
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste

Additional

  • 1 cup chocolate chip morsels

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C) and line a 12-count muffin pan with muffin liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder into a small bowl to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  3. Beat Sugar and Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs together for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light and creamy, which helps incorporate air and create a tender muffin texture.
  4. Mash Bananas: Using a fork, mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until smooth, then add them to the beaten egg and sugar mixture.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the sour cream, canola oil, and vanilla bean paste into the banana-egg mixture to combine all wet components thoroughly.
  6. Combine Dry and Wet: Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet batter and gently fold with a spatula until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chip morsels into the batter to evenly distribute them throughout.
  8. Portion Batter: Using an ice cream scoop or measuring cup, evenly divide the batter into the lined mini muffin pan cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  9. Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to avoid dense muffins.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier flavor.
  • Check muffins a few minutes before the minimum baking time to prevent overbaking.
  • Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
