Equipment

  • standard-sized muffin tin
  • cupcake liners (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups ripe banana, mashed and packed
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup toasted pecans, chopped (optional)
  • 2-3 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 12 muffin tins or use paper liners.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and then set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla until creamy. Then beat in the eggs.
  • Add the banana and beat until combined.
  • Stir in the sour cream until mixed.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir by hand or at the lowest mixer speed until mixed, taking care not to overmix.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts. Divide the mixture between the muffin tins. The tins will be full. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the muffins.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Toasting Nuts

Toast pecans by placing them in a skillet and heating them on medium-low heat.  Stir them until they are fragrant and beginning to brown, about 3 or 4 minutes.  Remove them from the pan to cool so they will stop cooking. They will burn easily, so remove them from the heat before they get too brown.
