Ingredients
- 10 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cup chocolate chips, plus a few more for 'studding' the tops before baking, if you like.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or with electric beaters, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes.)
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt, and beat until well incorporated. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Blend in the mashed banana and mix well to completely incorporate it.
- Add the milk and mix briefly to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Make sure to get it all evenly distributed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix slowly until well combined and there are no dry streaks of flour left.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter between the prepared muffin tin cups, filling them all the way up to the top. (you can also make more like 14-16 muffins by filling them about 2/3 full) Note: it's a blogger's tip to pop a few extra chocolate chips into the surface of your muffins before baking.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until risen and starting to turn golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
