Description

These soft and moist muffins are packed with sweet bananas and melty chocolate chips. Made in just one bowl, they’re perfect for a quick breakfast or snack!


Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. Mash & mix: In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla, then whisk until combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir gently until just combined (don’t overmix!).
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly between 10–12 muffin cups. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool & enjoy: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
  • Swap chocolate chips for nuts or dried fruit if preferred.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
