Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Bananas and Sour Cream: Add mashed bananas and sour cream, mixing until well combined.
