Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper cups or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. This ensures the muffins bake evenly and come out easily.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth but still a bit chunky for texture. The bananas should be spotty and soft for the best flavor and moisture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted unsalted butter, sugar, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well until everything is combined and slightly creamy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This keeps the leavening agent evenly distributed for perfect rise.
  5. Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the muffins tough, so stir until there are no streaks of flour.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, saving a few to sprinkle on top before baking for that gorgeous, melty finish.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into your muffin tin and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense, rubbery muffins.
  • Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for a tender crumb.
  • Check muffins starting at 18 minutes to prevent overbaking.
  • Add extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a visually appealing finish.
