Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ripe bananas
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
Seasonings and Leavening:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Take 2 ripe bananas and mash them completely in a large mixing bowl until no significant lumps remain.
- Pour ⅓ cup melted coconut oil into the mashed bananas and add ½ cup brown sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk everything until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir these dry ingredients together.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
- Sprinkle ½ cup chocolate chips into the batter and fold them in carefully. Optional: Add crushed graham crackers for extra texture.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should come out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them rest in the tin for 5 minutes to set their structure.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Line your muffin tin carefully to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Ripe bananas with dark spots provide the best natural sweetness and moisture for these muffins.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a certified gluten-free blend and check that your chocolate chips are also gluten-free.
- Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for longer preservation.
