Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
In another bowl, whisk melted butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until fully combined.
Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
Fold in the blueberries and walnuts until just mixed together.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each to the top.
Press a few extra blueberries into the top of each muffin and optionally sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
Bake in the center of the middle rack for 24 to 26 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool the muffins in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For added sweetness, feel free to increase the sugar slightly if desired.
Using room temperature ingredients helps achieve better mixing and a fluffier muffin texture.
Try substituting walnuts with pecans or leave them out for a nut-free version.
