Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Then add sugar, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture. Stir just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas to maximize natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure muffins stay light and fluffy.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped nuts for a different texture.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These muffins freeze well: wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
