By AnnaMaria507

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup chopped, unsalted macademia or walnuts
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat over to 375 degrees. Lilne a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Combine the nuts and the 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.
