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.

Tips for nailing these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

  1. Use very ripe bananas. This will result in better texture and flavour
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Top with a slice of banana and more chocolate chips.

Instructions:

  • Now add in the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and chocolate chips. Using a spatula mix together to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter into each muffin tin. I like to top with a slice of banana and additional chocolate chips.
  • Place muffins in the oven and bake for 5 minutes at 425F. After 5 minutes, decrease temperature to 350F and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Be sure to check the doneness of the muffins by poking with a toothpick after baking. If the toothpick comes out clean, they are done!
  • All the muffins to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy. How good do those smell!!!???
