2. Line the Muffin Tin - Line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the Egg - Crack the egg into the small glass dish, check it, and add it to the butter mixture.
5. Add the Vanilla - Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Mix in the Dry Ingredients - Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
7. Prepare the Banana Mixture - Mash the banana and combine it with the sour cream.
