Did you know that bananas are America’s favorite fruit? More Americans pick banana as their top choice than any other fruit. Personally, I have to put my daily banana in a smoothie, because I do NOT like them. I do, however, enjoy banana bread. Go figure. I wanted to combine a banana bread muffin (which totally reminds me of the fall season) with something from the upcoming winter season. It just made sense to use snickerdoodles.
Snickerdoodles aren’t just cinnamon and sugar cookies. They contain cream of tartar, and for me, that’s the secret ingredient in these popular cookies. It gives them that pinch of tang that sets them apart. I hope you enjoy these!
What you need:
- 3 medium, ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup butter (melted & cooled)
- 2 large eggs (room temp)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
TOPPING:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Make them:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pans with cups and spray lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the banana and butter together until smooth.
Mix in eggs, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until combined. Don’t over mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar, and cinnamon.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Fill each cup 1/2 way with batter.
Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar topping mixture, then cover with batter to just fill the cup.
Sprinkle another 1-2 teaspoons of the cinnamon sugar topping on top.
Bake 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
ENJOY!
Try these yummy treats, too!
