- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup (106g) light brown sugar, packed

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until fully combined.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix gently with a rubber spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the blueberries and walnuts until just integrated.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each to the top.
- Press a few extra blueberries on each muffin and sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 24 to 26 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving or transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cool before mixing to avoid cooking the eggs.
For an extra burst of flavor, add a dash of lemon zest to the batter.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep fresh.
