Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup mashed overripe banana about 2 large bananas
  • ½ cup dulce de leche homemade or store-bought
  • sparkling sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Prepare: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • Set aside. In a separate large bowl, mix together with a wooden spoon the vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs, milk and sour cream until well incorporated.
  • Add in the mashed banana until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture until no dry spots of flour are left.
  • Fill each cup of muffin tin about ¼ of the way with muffin batter.
  • Place a teaspoon of dulce de leche on top of the batter.
  • With a toothpick, gently swirl the dulce de leche into the muffin batter.
  • Add more muffin batter on top until the muffins cups are ½ full.
  • Place another teaspoon of dulce de leche on top and swirl around with a toothpick gently.
  • Sprinkle tops with sparkling sugar.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F for another 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the center muffin comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in muffin tins for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in airtight container or ziptop bag at room temperature for up to one week
  • To freeze, wrap each muffin tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe ziptop bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or warm gently in the microwave for 1 minute on 50% power or until muffin is defrosted and warmed through.
