A straightforward recipe for making moist, fluffy banana chocolate chip muffins with tall tops, perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas and milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. A few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  7. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the tops.
  9. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This high heat helps create the tall tops.
  10. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas; the browner the peel, the sweeter the flavor.
  • For extra moisture, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
  • To get tall tops, start the baking process at a higher temperature before reducing the heat.
