Description
These Perfect Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, moist, and bursting with rich banana flavor and melty mini chocolate chips. Whether for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, they are an easy, crowd-pleasing treat that comes together with simple pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
6. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter—this helps keep the muffins fluffy and tender.
Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture.
Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor variation.
