Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Supporting Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare your oven space by heating to 350°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position.
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and thoroughly mash 2-3 ripe bananas until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Pour ½ cup plain yogurt, ⅓ cup melted butter, ½ cup sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the banana mixture. Whisk until ingredients blend seamlessly.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt across the wet ingredients. Stir carefully until everything incorporates evenly.
- Add 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour to the bowl, stirring gently with minimal strokes to prevent overmixing.
- Scatter ½ cup chocolate chips throughout the batter, folding them in with soft, deliberate movements.
- Insert paper liners into your muffin tin, filling each cavity approximately two-thirds full with the prepared mixture.
- Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 18-20 minutes, checking doneness with a clean toothpick.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Ripe bananas work best, as they provide natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins.
- Use Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and denser texture that keeps the muffins incredibly soft.
- Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin before baking for a bakery-style presentation.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
