Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium-sized bananas)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ⅔ cup whole milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs

Add-ins

  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallow bits, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a muffin pan with 16 cupcake liners or spray the pan generously with nonstick baking spray for easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter and light brown sugar until combined and smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, mashed banana, and sour cream, and continue beating until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed.
  4. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry mix. Stir just until combined; do not overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Chocolate and Marshmallows: Gently fold in ¾ cup of the miniature chocolate chips and ¾ cup of the marshmallow bits by hand to evenly distribute through the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared liners, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and marshmallow bits on top of each muffin for a decorative and tasty topping.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 3-4 minutes, then transfer them carefully onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Storage: Once cooled, store the muffins in a sealed container. They are best after sitting overnight when the liners release easily and the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Because these muffins have a small amount of butter, they might stick to liners initially. Storing them overnight in a sealed container helps the liners peel away easily.
  • If preferred, you can spray a muffin pan and bake the muffins without liners.
  • The batter can also be baked in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan at 350°F (177°C) for about 60 minutes.
