Whether you’re using up overripe bananas or just looking for a quick, satisfying snack, these Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins are sure to become a family favorite. With endless customization options and a quick baking time, they’re perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 5 large ripe bananas
- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar lightly packed
- ½ cup oil like vegetable or melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl mash together the bananas and sugar. Be sure to mash the bananas very well. Do not leave large chunks of banana.
- Once the bananas are mashed add in the eggs, mix well. Now add in the vanilla, oil and melted butter. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Next add in the cinnamon, salt, flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well. Now stir in the chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
- Fill each liner ¾ of the way full. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy!
Notes
Muffin Variations:
Add in ½ cup to ¾ cup of toasted chopped walnuts.
Omit the Chocolate Chips and add in 1 cup of toasted and chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds.
Add in ½ cup peanut butter chips to make chocolate chip peanut butter banana muffins.
Make the muffins plain. They are great without the addition of nuts or chips.
