These cozy banana bread muffins with chocolate chips are tender, moist, and packed with melty chocolate pockets, perfect for breakfast or a comforting snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture just until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and moisture. Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding to prevent sinking. Room temperature ingredients help achieve a smoother batter and fluffier muffins. Test doneness with a toothpick to avoid overbaking.
