Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • For extra moist muffins, you can add a tablespoon of milk or yogurt to the batter.
  • To prevent sinking chocolate chips, you can toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
