Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra moisture, you can add 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
Use dark chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips for a different twist.
If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the sugar by 1/4 cup.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
