Jumbo Banana Pecan Muffins



Yup TasteofHome.com again! This was one of the first 500 to come across and I am glad I did! My little brother and his new wife came home for the week.  Friday was my day to get some baking done for them and since we had ripe bananas ready and he mentioned banana bread I took the opportunity to test out these muffins! First let me tell you this is my new go to recipe! I may never actually make banana bread again (probably just totally lied because sometimes baking is a compulsion and so is trying out different recipes ha-ha) it is that good! 

I made 2 batches of them, one without nuts and one with chopped walnuts.  Everyone agrees they are soo good! Seriously just banana bread in a giant muffin with a sweet crumb on top, super moist and super flavorful! Awesome recipe!!!

  • 1-1/2 cups cake flour

  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 medium)
  • 1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • STREUSEL:
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
