Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
These feel good banana chocolate chip muffins are perfect for meal prep, school lunches, or anytime you are looking for a snack. And who doesn’t love a good excuse to use up those sketchy bananas you have been collecting at the back of your freezer!

My little girls love muffins but, at least at the time of writing this blog, are pretty picky eaters. I think it’s more of a power move they pull on me, but that is for another blog post. One type of muffin I know I can make that they will love is banana chocolate chip. I mean, who doesn’t love banana chocolate chip muffins!!! Sweet, chocolatey and just a hug for your face!

Haul out those sketchy bananas!
You really want to use bananas that are very brown for this recipe. Very ripe bananas have sweeter flavour and are perfect for baking with. I always make sure to save any bananas that turn brown on my counter and these muffins are the reward for reducing my food waste!
I love to make these muffins using a silicone muffin tin. Makes clean up easier and you never have to worry about sticking. Here is the brand I like to use.

Let’s breakdown the ingredients!
- Very ripe bananas
- Eggs
- brown sugar
- maple syrup
- vanilla
- Melted butter
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Chocolate chips

Tips for nailing these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
- Use very ripe bananas. This will result in better texture and flavour
- Don’t over mix once you add in the flour. You want the muffins to be light and airy. If you over mix the flour once it is mixed with the wet ingredients the muffins will become tough.
- Bake until you can poke with a tooth pick and it comes out clean. There is a lot of moisture in these muffins. They take a while to bake.
- Top with a slice of banana and more chocolate chips.
