Ingredients
- 3 bananas (overripe, mashed - about 1 ¼ cups mashed)
- ½ cup salted butter (melted)
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup sour cream (or greek yogurt)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
- Grease 6 wells in each of 2 standard muffin pans, set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
- Then add the melted butter, peanut butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla to the bananas and stir to combine.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and stir or whisk until the sugars are dissolved.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon and stir until incorporated and there are no lumps/pockets of flour.
- If desired, stir in 1 cup of mix-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, peanut butter chips, etc.
- Fill 12 wells with batter to the top – 6 in each pan (this allows for muffins to rise).
- Bake in preheated oven for 14-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean or with some moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the muffin pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then use a spoon or knife to release the muffins from the wells and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Salted butter. you can replace up to ¼ cup of the butter with unsweetened applesauce or canola oil.
- Sour cream. greek yogurt works well in place of sour cream, and adds extra protein.
- All-purpose flour. use gluten-free all-purpose baking flour to make these muffins gluten-free.
- Sugars. you can replace the sugars with unrefined coconut sugar or organic cane sugar.
- Store/Freeze
