Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¾ cup sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a precise 350°F and grab a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Line each compartment with paper liners for easy removal.
- Take those overripe bananas and transform them into a creamy mash using a sturdy fork. Break down every chunk until smooth.
- Pour ⅓ cup melted butter into the banana mixture. Blend thoroughly to create a uniform consistency.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are completely integrated.
- Add ¾ cup sugar, crack in 1 large egg, and splash 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients until they’re well combined.
- Gently introduce 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour into the wet mixture. Stir minimally – stop mixing the moment no dry flour remains visible.
- Scatter ½ cup chocolate chips across the batter. Fold them in with delicate strokes to distribute evenly.
- Distribute the batter across the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full for proper rising.
- Slide the tin into the preheated oven. Bake exactly 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges completely clean.
Notes
- Ripe bananas create the most flavorful and moist muffins, so save those brown-spotted bananas for baking.
- Always mix dry ingredients separately before adding to wet ingredients to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can make the muffins tough – stop stirring as soon as the flour is just incorporated.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend and check the baking time slightly early.
