Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium sized bananas)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup whole milk
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
Add-ins
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups thoroughly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the packed light brown sugar and melted unsalted butter until smooth. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in the mashed ripe bananas and sour cream until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, table salt, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
- Incorporate Dry Into Wet: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in half of the miniature chocolate chips gently, reserving the rest for topping.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining miniature chocolate chips over the top of each muffin for a melty, chocolaty finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy these Banana S’mores Muffins warm or at room temperature, perfect as a breakfast treat or afternoon snack.
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier taste.
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- If you prefer a stronger s’mores flavor, add a few mini marshmallows on top before baking.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
- To keep muffins moist, avoid overbaking; start checking at 18 minutes.
