Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, moist muffins packed with sweet banana flavor and rich chocolate chips, making them a comforting treat for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  8. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips or coarse sugar on top if desired.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.
  • Whole wheat flour can replace part of the all-purpose flour for a heartier texture.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to 2 months.
