Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or masher.
  3. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips. Toss them in a little flour first if you want to prevent sinking.
  7. Use a scoop or spoon to divide the batter evenly between muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  8. Top each muffin with a few extra chocolate chips for that bakery-style finish.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for longer storage, up to 3 months.
  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor.
