Moist and flavorful banana bread muffins packed with chocolate chips, perfect for quick breakfasts, snacks, or desserts. Easy to make with simple pantry staples and ripe bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (135g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it thoroughly.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth with a few small lumps remain.
  3. Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk gently until combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts carefully to distribute evenly.
  7. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; muffins are done when toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
  9. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Fold wet and dry ingredients gently to keep muffins tender and light. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and moisture. Let melted butter cool before mixing to avoid scrambling eggs. Check muffins early to avoid overbaking; tent with foil if browning too fast.
