  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 medium ripe bananas mashed (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped praline pecans
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together 1 1/2 sticks of softened butter, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, and 2 eggs.
  • Next, add 2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas.
  • Add the 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt to a separate bowl.
  • Turn the stand mixer on a low setting, and add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients a little at a time.
  • After the wet ingredients have been fully incorporated into the dry ingredients, add 1/3 cup of sweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of chopped praline pecans, and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, and mix until combined. Do not over-mix. Over-mixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Place the muffin liners into the pan and fill them just a smidgen over halfway. Place the muffin pan on the center rack of the preheated oven at 375 °.
  • Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove the banana bread muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve.
