Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup milk chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in both the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips evenly into the dry mixture.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, mashed bananas, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir the batter just until all ingredients are incorporated; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full for perfect rising.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Avoid overbaking to maintain moistness.
  7. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Room temperature egg helps to create a smooth batter.
  • Mix dry and wet ingredients gently to avoid tough muffins.
  • Chocolate chips can be adjusted based on your preference or substituted with nuts for a different texture.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
