Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (176.67 °C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- For the topping: In a small bowl, combine the toasted walnuts with honey, vanilla, and cinnamon until evenly coated (the mixture will be very sticky). Set aside.
- For the Muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and baking soda. Set aside. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the oil, sugar, and honey until combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, if needed.
- At medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating until fully incorporated between additions. Add the mashed bananas, lemon juice, vanilla, and sour cream and beat until blended. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin (the cups will be full) and sprinkle evenly with the sticky nut topping. Bake the muffins until the tops are golden and domed, 25 to 28 minutes. Let the banana muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
