Ingredients
- 3/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1/3 c. butter or margarine, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 c. mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
- 1/3 c. sour cream
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/3 c. chopped, unsalted macadamia nuts or walnuts
- 1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the mashed bananas and sour cream; beat until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger and salt in a separate large bowl; mix well. Add the flour mixture to the batter; stir until just combined. Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Combine the nuts and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the batter in the muffin cups. Bake the muffins until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
