Description
A delightful twist on a classic campfire treat, combining sweet banana bread with toasted marshmallows, melting chocolate, and graham crackers. These muffins feature a moist, tender crumb infused with cinnamon and graham cracker crumbs for a touch of nostalgia in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, 2/3 cup mashed ripe banana
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup sour cream, 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted), 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (divided), 1 cup mini marshmallow bits (divided)
Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a muffin pan with 16 liners.
Wet Mix: Beat melted butter and brown sugar. Add egg, vanilla, mashed bananas, and sour cream; beat until combined.
Dry Mix: Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs in a separate bowl.
Combine: Add dry ingredients to wet mixture alternately with milk. Stir until just combined do not over-mix.
Fold & Bake: Fold in 3/4 cup each of chips and marshmallows. Fill liners 3/4 full; top with remaining chips/marshmallows. Bake for 16 mins. Cool in pan for 3–4 mins before moving to a rack.
Notes
Marshmallow Choice: Use crunchy ‘mallow bits’ (like in hot cocoa). Standard soft marshmallows melt too quickly and leave sticky, empty holes in the muffins.
The Sour Cream Secret: Sour cream provides the fat and acidity needed for a tender, bakery-style crumb that stays moist for days.
Don’t Over-mix: Stop stirring once flour streaks disappear. Over-mixing develops gluten, which results in a rubbery, dense muffin texture.
