Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar (granulated or brown sugar)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, if needed for consistency)
Let’s Cook!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake the Muffins: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
“The perfect combination of moist, fluffy texture and sweet chocolatey goodness in every bite!”
