Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (Printable)
Moist fluffy muffins with ripe bananas and chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or snacking.
# Ingredient List:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 3 ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/3 cup light brown sugar
06 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
07 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1 tsp baking soda
09 - 1/2 tsp baking powder
10 - 1/2 tsp salt
→ Add-ins
11 - 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
03 - In a separate medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined—do not overmix as this will result in dense muffins.
05 - Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
07 - Bake for 16–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They come together in one bowl with minimal effort but taste like something from a fancy bakery
- The texture is incredibly moist without being dense, and the chocolate chunks create these perfect little molten pockets throughout
02 -
- Overmixing the batter creates tough, rubbery muffins with tunnels throughout, so stop folding as soon as the flour disappears
- The muffins are done when theyre lightly golden on top and spring back when gently pressed
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend more easily, so pull your eggs out 15 minutes before you start baking
- Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin before baking for that professional bakery look
