Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

  • Instructions:
    1. Preheat and Prepare:
      • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
      • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease the cups with butter or non-stick spray.
    2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
      • In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
      • Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
      • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    4. Combine Wet and Dry:
      • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
      • Fold in the chocolate chips.
    5. Fill Muffin Tins:
      • Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
      • Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for a prettier finish.
    6. Bake:
      • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
    7. Cool and Serve:
      • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    These muffins are moist, chocolatey, and perfect for breakfast or a snack. Let me know if you’d like variations, like adding nuts or substituting ingredients!
