Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (optional, for moisture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together to distribute evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth. Add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well until all wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Form the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined; do not overmix to keep muffins tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and moist texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit if preferred.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For extra moisture, applesauce can be added, but it is optional.
