Ingredients

Scale

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 (2 medium sized)
  • 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
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallow bits, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a muffin pan with 16 cupcake liners or spray the pan well with nonstick baking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, mashed banana, and sour cream, and beat again until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed.
  4. Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternate adding the flour mixture and the whole milk into the wet ingredients, stirring gently after each addition. Be careful not to over-mix; just combine until no dry flour pockets remain.
  5. Add Chocolate and Marshmallows: Fold in 3/4 cup of the miniature chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of the miniature marshmallow bits by hand, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Liners and Top: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/4 cup marshmallow bits to create a delicious topping.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Store: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cooled muffins in a sealed container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are ripe for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to keep muffins light and tender.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor and added protein.
  • If miniature marshmallow bits are unavailable, chop regular marshmallows into small pieces.
  • Store muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
