Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. This amount is intended for 15–16 small muffins. You may halve the quantities. For baking, overripe bananas with dark spots on the peel are preferable—the baked goods turn out especially fragrant. Cane sugar can be replaced with white sugar. Take the butter out of the refrigerator ahead of time so that it softens.

Step 7
Combine the butter-and-banana mixture with the dry ingredients and mix. Separately beat the egg whites until they have increased in volume and hold stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten whites into the batter with a silicone spatula, scooping from bottom to top. If the batter seems too thick to you, you can add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream.

Place the batter into the prepared molds. These can be silicone molds or corrugated paper ones. Bake the muffins in an oven preheated to 180°C for 30 minutes. Check doneness with a wooden skewer.
