Description
Make delicious chocolate chip banana muffins with simple instructions and baking tips for a perfect treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe medium bananas, mashed
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the mashed bananas until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin, if desired.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas (with brown spots) for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Mix until just combined.
- For a richer banana flavor, you can roast the bananas first.
