After working in my yard all weekend ( with a little more to do today) I needed a little pick me up this morning. Baking something yummy and sweet to go with my morning cup of coffee is always a good way to start the day, when I am up early. Two over ripe bananas were just waiting to be baked into banana bread or muffins and this recipe for Sour Cream Banana Muffins Dipped in Cinnamon and Sugar sounded too good to pass up.
The sour cream is such a wonderful addition to muffins or bread, making them extra moist and delicious. As always, I used the equivilent amount of Truvia in this recipe so I can cut down on the carbs in each muffin. I even used the Truvia to dip the muffins in at the end and the texture is similar to sugar, so it worked just fine. These muffins were such a treat ( especially warm from the oven) and a great way to start my morning :-)
Sour Cream Banana Muffins Dipped in Sugar and Cinnamon
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar ( I used Truvia equivilent )
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup sour cream
2 small bananas, mashed
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
For topping:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar ( I used Truvia equivilent)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place paper baking cups in a 12 cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, making powder and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk egg, then add sugar. Whisk until thick. Slowly add the melted butter. Whisk in the sour cream, mashed banana, milk and vanilla.
Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Divide the batter between muffin cups. Bake 25-30 minutes until tops are lightly golden.
For topping : while muffins are still warm, dip the tops in melted butter and then into sugar and cinnamon mixture. Let cool on a baker's rack.
