Description

Delicious and moist Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins made with ripe bananas, sweet chocolate chips, and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for breakfast or a tasty snack, these muffins are quick to prepare and bake in just under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (180g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup sugar (113g)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping, if desired)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 medium ripe bananas (or 1 cup mashed banana)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter, slightly cooled (75g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the wet ingredients are fully blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until the batter is almost combined. Then fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of each muffin for extra chocolate flavor.
  6. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven at 375°F for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure muffins stay tender and fluffy.
  • You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips, or even nuts if preferred.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
