Small Batch Banana Muffins
Description
This recipe starts by mashing ripe banana and mixing it with egg, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. A separate bowl holds the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt—which are gently folded into the wet mixture along with chocolate chips. The batter is portioned into lined muffin cups, topped with extra chocolate chips, and baked at 350°F until just set and golden.
The muffins have a soft crumb featuring banana moisture and sweet bursts of chocolate, accented by subtle cinnamon warmth. Their small batch size is convenient for fewer servings without waste.
To adapt for gluten-free diets, substituting a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well. Muffins can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to five days and freeze well for longer storage, maintaining freshness and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 banana ripe
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil neutral
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line 5 cups of a muffin tin with liners - if you skip spaces between each liner the muffins will rise more.
- Mash the banana in a mixing bowl. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract and oil to the bowl and whisk together
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into wet with a flat spatula and mix in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop about ¼ of batter into each of the lined muffin cups and top with more chocolate chips
- Place in the oven and bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes.
Notes
- Replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make the muffins gluten free.
- Keep muffins stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze muffins in airtight containers for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
