2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups well mashed very ripe bananas(about 3 large)
1/2 cup sour cream
11 TBSP unsalted butter, softened
6 TBSP canola oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

1.Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F. Grease cupcake pans and dust with flour.
2.Sift together the cake flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
3.In a small bowl, combine the bananas and the sour cream; set aside.
4.In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium-high speed until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the oil and both sugars and beat at high speed until creamy and light, about 3 minutes. At medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Beat in the vanilla extract. At low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating it with the banana mixture in two additions and mixing just until blended.
5.Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and stir in the walnuts by hand. Scrape the batter into the muffin pans(I used and ice cream scoop).
6.Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7.Let cool and frost with your choice of frosting...I went with cream cheese frosting.
