Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
For extra moist muffins, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the batter.
If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the sugar slightly.
