Description
Moist, fluffy, and studded with melty chocolate chips, these Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins are a delightful twist on a classic comfort bake.
Ingredients
- Bananas: 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 ½ cups
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Ground Cinnamon: ½ teaspoon
- Unsalted Butter: ½ cup (melted)
- Brown Sugar: ½ cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Chocolate Chips: ¾ cup (semi-sweet or milk)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mash bananas and mix in melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, folding gently just until mixed. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean (except for melted chocolate).
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
- Add a sprinkle of turbinado sugar on top for a crunchy finish.
- Store in an airtight container or freeze for long-term storage.
