These moist and flavorful Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are a delightful way to use ripe bananas, combining their natural sweetness with rich semi-sweet chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or dessert, they bake up tender and fluffy with a golden crust.

Ingredients

Banana Mixture

  • 4 large bananas (about 1 1/3 cups, mashed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth but still a bit chunky for texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the mashed bananas until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter evenly.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve: Enjoy these delicious muffins warm or at room temperature as a sweet snack or breakfast treat.

Notes

  • For best results, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • If desired, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
