Jumbo Banana Muffins

This is a nice Jumbo Banana Muffins recipe you can try this summer. They are so soft and so delicious with a great banana flavor. I’m sure you and your kids and the whole family will love them.

Once you look at the ingredients and directions, you’ll see there isn’t much difference between these Jumbo Banana Muffins and regular banana muffins. The only change I made is using a jumbo muffin pan. Otherwise, it’s just like any banana muffin recipe.

I really love these Jumbo Banana Muffins. They came out super soft with a lovely fruity banana flavor. I adore banana desserts, even though I don’t share them often on my blog. I think the last banana dessert I shared was Tempura Banana, if that counts as dessert, of course.

Please try to use large, ripe bananas, the browner, the better. I get a lot of questions about why banana muffins don’t have that strong banana flavor, and the answer is usually the bananas. The ripeness of the banana is a big factor that affects the taste and flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas (the browner, the better!)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

How to Make Jumbo Banana Muffins?

Step 1:

First, turn on the oven to 375°F and get your big muffin pan ready with paper cups.

Step 2:

Peel your bananas and mash them in a big bowl, then add eggs, melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and sour cream to the bananas and mix until it looks creamy.

Step 3:

In another bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, then slowly add that to the banana bowl and mix well.

Step 4:

If you want, you can add chocolate chips at this point or chopped nuts.

Step 5:

Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full with the batter. After that, put the muffins in the oven and bake for about 22 to 26 minutes.

Step 6:

Let them rest for 5 minutes, then take them out and cool them. Enjoy.

What to Serve with Jumbo Banana Muffins?

I adore enjoying these Jumbo Banana Muffins with some peanut butter ganache, its creamy and nutty flavor makes the dessert even more delicious. The kids love theirs with a cold apple, carrot, and peach smoothie. I was glad they enjoyed it this way since they originally planned to have it with vanilla yogurt. I think a smoothie is better for them than ice cream or yogurt. Also, these Jumbo Banana Muffins go great with fresh fruits of your choice.
