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 the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid over mixing to keep muffins moist.
- Fold in the blueberries and walnuts carefully until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each to the top.
- Press a few extra blueberries on top of each muffin and sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if desired.
- Bake in the center of the middle rack for 24 to 26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Make sure the bananas are overripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit them for a nut-free version.
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
