Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are a homemade, moist banana bread muffin filled with chocolate chips. 

Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I am a HUGE banana bread lover! I find myself tripling my bananas at the store just so I can make banana bread. But these muffins are even better, all the amazing flavor of banana bread, but they bake in half the time! And let’s be honest, the quicker I am eating these amazing muffins the happier I am!

These muffins combine the perfect light texture, with loads of banana goodness; but if chocolate and banana isn’t your thing, this recipe is also super versatile! Try mixing in nuts, peanut butter chips, cinnamon chips, blueberries, butterscotch chips, even shredded coconut! Sky is the limit! Mix, match, experiment and come up with your perfect combination!  

Any time you are baking with bananas, the riper the banana, the stronger the flavor will be. If you need to ripen bananas quickly, try placing them in a bag with another piece of ripe fruit and seal the bag. The ripe fruit will release ethylene and make the bananas ripen faster.

What Ingredients Will You Need?

• Melted Butter- I always use salted butter. 
• Brown Sugar- Brown sugar and brown sugar only for this recipe to keep it ultra moist. 
• Eggs- We will need 2 for this recipe! 
• Mashed Bananas- We will use a total of 2 cups of mashed bananas. This is equal to about 4-6 overripe bananas.
• Flour- All purpose flour will do the trick. 
• Baking Soda
• Vanilla- This recipe calls for a lot of vanilla- trust me on this! This really enhances the banana flavor.
• Chocolate Chips- Or any ole’ mix-in your little heart desires.

How To Make The Best Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

To start out, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and line your muffin tins. I use large tins. You can use small, but note that it will change your cook time. Smaller muffins=less cook time.

While the oven is preheating, mix together the melted butter and the brown sugar. You can use a hand, or a stand mixer, whatever you have…or whatever you feel like washing later. 

When your butter and sugar are mixed, add the vanilla, eggs and mashed bananas. Then take a second to smell, because…YUM! Now slowly incorporate your dry ingredients and mix just until the ingredients come together. YOU DO NOT WANT TO OVERMIX! This will make your muffins tough, and NOBODY wants tough muffins! After everything is mixed, gently fold in your chocolate chips.

Pour your batter into the muffin tins. I like to place a few chocolate chips right on top, because it looks pretty…and because you can always use a little bit more chocolate. 

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Make sure they pass the toothpick test before pulling them out of the oven. Let them cool a bit before diving in. 

And that’s it! Warm, moist and gooey banana muffins! So easy, but oh so tasty!
