Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3-4 ripe bananas
  • ½ cup butter (melted)
  • 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Melt ½ cup butter and let it sit for 1 minute to cool slightly before mixing with other ingredients.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash 3-4 ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add 1 egg and the melted butter into the mashed bananas and mix together using an electric mixer until well combined.
  4. Add Sugar: Stir in ¾ cup granulated sugar and continue mixing until the sugar is fully dissolved and incorporated.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt to evenly combine.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon just until all ingredients are blended; do not overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Fill Muffin Tray and Bake: Transfer the batter into a greased muffin tray, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated oven at 360°F (182°C) for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
