Our Chocolate Chip and Banana Muffins are the harmonious union of two beloved flavors. The natural sweetness of bananas provides a moist, flavorful base, while the chocolate chips add delightful bursts of cocoa magic. Whether paired with a morning coffee or savored as a midnight snack, these muffins are the epitome of comfort in a bite.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (plus some extra for topping)
Directions:
Embark on your baking adventure by preheating the oven. Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners, setting the stage for our stars.
In the world of dry ingredients, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This blend will form the structural backbone of our muffins.
Journey to the realm of wet ingredients, where melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar mingle and blend. Add in the beaten egg and vanilla extract, dancing together to form a rich, aromatic potion.
Now, bring these worlds together. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until they’re just about acquainted. Stir in the mashed bananas and chocolate chips, ensuring every bite will hold both tropical bliss and chocolatey goodness.
Pour this batter into the muffin tin, and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for good measure. Into the oven they go, baking until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are a golden hue.
Let them cool, though the temptation will be strong. Once cooled, serve and watch them disappear!
Tips or Notes:
- If you desire a nuttier flavor, consider adding some chopped walnuts or pecans.
- To ensure moist muffins, avoid overmixing the batter.
- These muffins are perfect for freezing. Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag and reheat as needed for a quick treat.
- Riper bananas will give a stronger banana flavor and added natural sweetness to the muffins.
