Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 bananas very ripe, about 1 ⅓ cups mashed
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup butter softened to room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped nuts such as pistachios, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin tin or line it with papers.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Peel the bananas and place them into a separate mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them. You should have approximately 1 ⅓ cups mashed bananas.
- Add the egg, butter, and vanilla to the bowl with the bananas. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
- Pour the muffin batter into the muffins tins, filling each about ⅔ of the way full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- After pouring the batter into the muffin tins, you can add a sprinkling of extra chocolate chips for garnish, if desired.
- The chocolate chips can be swapped for caramel chips, white chocolate chips, or even raisins for a totally new recipe!
- Your bananas should be quite ripe for this recipe! If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can soften them in the oven. Peel the bananas and bake on a baking sheet for 8–10 minutes at 350°F. This will “ripen” them so they are easier to mash.
- Store the muffins for up to a week in a sealed container, or freeze for up to 3 months.
