A simple recipe for making moist, flavorful muffins combining ripe bananas and chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir in the mashed bananas and milk until just mixed. Do not overmix.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are acceptable.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • For a bakery style top, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
  • You can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for a deeper molasses flavor.
