How to Make the Jumbo Banana Muffins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your jumbo muffin pan(s) with liners, and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sugar and bananas. A hand mixer and large bowl can be used if you do not have a stand mixer. Mix until bananas are mashed and well combined.
Add in the egg yolks, oil, and sour cream. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix on low speed until combined, scraping the sides often, and mix again.
Fold in the chopped nuts.
Measure out the muffin batter to fill the liners until they are about ⅔ full. Do not overfill.
For the streusel topping – In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
Add in the melted butter and mix until combined.
Add in the chopped nuts and combine.
Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
Lower the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned, and the center is set.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Finish cooling on a wire cooling rack.
