Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 medium Ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.75 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the mashed bananas until evenly combined.
Add half of the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
Mix in the sour cream, then add the remaining dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the lined cupcake cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain or with your favorite frosting for an extra indulgence!
