Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners (about 12 cups).
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps.
- Add melted butter and sugar to the mashed bananas and stir gently to combine.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla extract, whisking just until blended.
- Sift in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
- Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for best flavor and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy. Let muffins cool before serving to avoid crumbling. You can substitute butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option and swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend if needed.
