Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana and chocolate – what a classic combo! These banana chocolate chip muffins make the perfect treat. Whip them up for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Even novice bakers can make them – it’s so easy! Enjoy the sweet banana and rich chocolate. Delicious!

Ingredients

Make this yummy treat easily at home. Grab these ingredients:

  • 2 mashed, ripe bananas
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or oil
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips

Be sure to measure the flour properly. Too much flour makes it dry. Too little stops it from rising. Overripe bananas make it sweeter and moister. Don’t forget to add the mini semi sweet chocolate chips! For a tasty surprise in every muffin and a crunchy texture.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line muffin tins with paper liners.

In a bowl, mix together mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, an egg, and vanilla extract.

In a different bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just mixed. Don’t over mix, as this will make the muffins tough. Gently add in the chocolate chips.

Divide the batter between 12-14 muffin tins. Put 1/4 cup of batter in each tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs when done.

Take them out of the oven. Let them cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Then, enjoy!
