Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins start with mashed ripe bananas, which provide flavor and moisture to the batter. The mixture combines all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and two kinds of chocolate chips—semi-sweet and milk chocolate—for layered chocolate richness. Sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla create a tender crumb and enhance sweetness. Baking at 375°F for about 18 to 20 minutes yields muffins with a soft interior and lightly browned tops. The method ensures the batter is mixed just until combined to keep the muffins moist and tender.
These muffins are versatile as a breakfast option or a sweet treat during the day, best enjoyed fresh but can be stored briefly. Their texture and balanced sweetness also make them suitable for packing in lunches or as a casual snack.
Adjust baking time for different muffin sizes: mini muffins require less time while jumbo muffins need a bit longer. Avoid overbaking to keep the muffins moist inside.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup banana about 3 medium, mashed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- ¼ cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
