These muffins are so moist and delicious there are never any leftovers. I am a person that does not like an overabundance of banana flavour so these were just right. You can also make this into a banana loaf as well. Adapted from a recipe I found on the Food Network.

In a third bowl, using handheld mixer on high speed, beat together butter and sugar til light in color an texture, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in eggs and then the mashed bananas. Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture and stopping to scrape down bowl as needed. Beat til smooth. Fold in chocolate chips and half of the walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining walnuts on top. Bake til toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to wire rack and let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack and remove paper. Invert again and let cool completely. Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature. Photo and recipe courtesy Breakfast Comforts

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar: This will help to create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mash the bananas: You can use a fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas. Be sure to mash them well so that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Add the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the banana bread tough.
  • Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
