Delightful muffins combining bananas and sourdough, perfect for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 very ripe bananas (about 1 cup, mashed)
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl, then set aside.
  3. Mash the ripe bananas in another bowl until smooth.
  4. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl, then add the dark brown sugar. Cream together until nice and combined.
  5. Add the eggs, mashed banana, sour cream, sourdough discard, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is combined.
  6. Combine the wet mixture with the dry mixture, gently mixing with a spatula until just combined. Fold in 2/3 cup of the chopped walnuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of walnuts on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For extra sweetness, top with glaze or sprinkle coarse sugar before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
