Today I realized I had some bananas in the fruit bowl getting overly ripe, so I decided to do a little baking. I started with this recipe, but tweaked it quite a bit and made it my own! Here's what I got.  Sour Cream Banana Muffins.
This post was originally shared in April of 2012... I've been doing lots of behind-the-scenes blog work and decided to update some old posts with better pictures!  I'll have something new and fabulous up for you tomorrow if all goes well!  Now... on with the  Sour Cream Banana Muffins...
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of banana-flavored things. I like a fresh (not overly ripe) banana every now and then, but I generally have zero interest in banana bread, banana pie, banana candy, banana smoothie, etc.
If you put a banana in a recipe (except for maybe this banana pudding recipe) - I probably don't want any of it. BUT - I do like these muffins. Especially hot out of the oven with a big slather of butter. Yum, yum, yum!!
We will be having them for breakfast in the morning if they last that long!! Â And my kids love them for snacks too! Â These are moist and soft and perfect for any time of day. Â Although it's spring right now, I really love to have these warm out of the oven in the Fall... Â they're so comforting!
Note:Â I bake these in a silicone muffin pan with no liners, but you could easily use a regular muffin pan and/or liners!

Kristen - I didn't mention this in the post... but I don't eat banana anything - I only make these to use up ripe bananas and because the kids and Richy love them!! This is one thing I could bake all day and not touch... ha!

GIRL!! I love banana stuff. Banana pudding, banana bread, banana Runts, banana Laffy Taffy. You get the picture. 😉

Have you made banana frosting? If so... wanna do a guest post?
Kristen Miller

I would love to put a frosting on these. Do you have a good banana frosting recipe? Can't wait to try this recipe. I love, love, love anything bananas. ** : **

I love making banana bread and muffins, but this sounds like a great alternative way with the sour cream. Never would have thought, and I ALWAYS have sour cream around the house. Thanks for sharing, found you at Share It One More Time link party.

These look super delicious. I'm already a huge fan of almost anything that has bananas in it.
Thank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty. We hope to see you again when we open our doors at 12 AM EST on Friday.
