Sour Cream Banana Muffins

Creamy, tender Sour Cream Banana Muffins that are perfect for breakfast, brunch or just a delicious snack!

I’ve known my best girlfriend since Jr. High. That’s nearly 25 years people! Anyway, she has a few star baking recipes that she’s used over and over again because they are so good that people beg for them. This is one of those recipes. My personal favorite is her pumpkin cookies but you’ll have to wait til the fall for that one.

My friend has been one of the biggest supporters of this little blogging dream of mine. She loves to hear about new and exciting projects and collaborations, and she’s always genuinely excited for me. She’s been talking about this Banana Bread recipe that she’s been using and keeps telling me I need to try it and post it on the blog.

I hesitated because my kids have never really been fans of banana bread, but she insisted that this wasn’t just a typical banana bread recipe – “It’s got sour cream and a cup of sugar, of course it’s good!” So I figured it was time to try it out.

Oh. My. Word. Once again she was right (that happens way more that I’d like) and these muffins were a huge hit! I did modify the recipe slightly from the original, and also baked them as muffins rather than bread. Since my son is allergic to walnuts, I didn’t add them to the batter and just plunked a few on top of half of the muffins.

• Stir in flour mixture to combine, then stir in bananas, sour cream and optional walnuts.
