Ingredients

• 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup mashed ripe banana (2 medium sized)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 cups all purpose flour (240g)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs + extra (crush 8 full cracker sheets)
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided
• 1 1/4 cups miniature marshmallow bits, divided

Instructions

1

Begin by setting your oven temperature to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with 16 baking liners, then coat them with nonstick cooking spray just prior to adding the mixture, or alternatively, grease the cavities of the pan thoroughly with the spray.

2

Combine the liquified butter and brown sugar together evenly. Introduce the egg, vanilla extract, mashed banana fruit, and sour cream into the bowl, whisking the mixture until it becomes thoroughly smooth and creamy.

3

In a separate container, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine salt, ground cinnamon, and 1 cup of pulverized graham cracker crumbs.

4

Integrate the dry flour blend alternately with the whole milk into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until just combined. Take care not to over-mix the batter.

5

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in 3/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips and 1 cup of the dehydrated marshmallow bits by hand.

6

Divide the completed batter evenly among your prepared baking liners. Top each portion with the remaining chocolate chips and marshmallow bits. For an enhanced honey-graham accent, scatter the reserved cracker crumbs over the tops as well. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

7

Take the baking tin out of the oven and allow the muffins to rest inside the warm pan for exactly 2 minutes; following this, carefully remove them and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool off entirely. Keep fresh in a tightly sealed airtight container.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are marshmallow bits and can I use regular mini marshmallows instead? Marshmallow bits (like Kraft Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits) are small, dehydrated marshmallows. They are ideal for baking because they hold their shape better. If you use regular mini marshmallows, they tend to melt completely into sugar pockets and sticky holes during baking, though they still taste wonderful!

How do I keep my muffins from sticking to the cupcake liners? Because the marshmallow bits get deliciously gooey and sticky, we highly recommend spraying the insides of your paper cupcake liners with a quick burst of nonstick baking spray right before filling them with batter. This ensures they peel away cleanly.

Can I substitute the sour cream in this recipe? Yes! If you do not have sour cream on hand, you can easily substitute it with an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt. This keeps the moisture levels high and ensures your muffins stay incredibly soft and tender.
